THOMAS] QUICHE NUMERALS 897 
Here is a change in the order from lahwh-gal, or 10 X 20, as it would 
be regularly, to otuwk, or 5 tuk, which seems to give indications of 
modern influence. Brasseur gives the following explanation: ‘* From 
the number 180 following they say hun-rotuh, 181, 1 toward 200, which 
is represented by the word ofwi (this name for 200 is composed 
of 00,5, and tuk, which appears to signify a tuft of a certain herb, 
which has, independently of its ordinary sense, that of 40. This makes, 
therefore, for the entire word, 40 multiplied by 5; that is to say, 200).” 
Tuc in Maya signifies as a verb ‘*to count heaps, or by heaps” (Hen- 
derson, manuscript dictionary, and Beltran, Arte). The succeeding 
numbers, as will be seen by the list, follow in the count the regular 
order, though with abbreviated names. 
201 hun-ri-hulah=1 on the eleventh score. 
So to 219. 
Fulah in this instance stands for hwlahu-qal,; that is, 11x 20. 
220 hulahu-qal=11> 20. 
221 hun-ri-cablah=1 on the twelfth score. 
So to 239. 
Cablah, abbreviation of cablahuh-qal. 
240 cablahuh-qal=12 20. 
241 hun-roxlah=1 on the thirteenth score. 
So to 259: 
Foxlah, abbreviation of rorlahuh-qal. 
260 roxlahuh-qal=13 x 20. 
The retention of the 7 here, contrary to the general rule, is without 
apparent reason unless it be for the sake of euphony. Oxlahuhqal 
would seem to be the proper term, as ozlahuh is given tor 13, oxgal 
for 60, and omuch-orlahuhgal for 660; however, the name for 300 is 
rolahuhgal. 
261 hun-ri-cahlahuhqal—1 on the fourteenth score. 
So to 279. 
280 cahlahuh-qal=14 20. 
281 hun-r-olahuhqal=1 on the fifteenth score. 
So to 299. 
300 rolahuh-qal=15 20. 
301 hun-ri-vaklahuhgqal=1 on the sixteenth score. 
So to 319. 
320 vaklahuh-qal=16 20. 
321 hun-ri-vuklahuhqal=1 on the seventeenth score. 
So to 339. 
340 vuklahuh-qal=17 x 20. 
341 hun-ri-vahxaklahuhqal=1 on the eighteenth score. 
So to 359. 
360 vahxaklahuh-qal=18 20.
