THOMAS] POKONCHI NUMERALS 901 
The following list of Pokonchi numerals is from Stoll’s Maya- 
Sprachen der Pokom-Gruppe (p. 51):

10 lahe-b. 
11 hun-lah=1+10. 
12 cab-lah=2+10. 
13 ox-lah=3-+10. 
14 cah-lah=4+10. 
15 ho-lah-uh=5+10. 
16 vyuak-lah=6—10. 
17 vuk-lah=7+10. 
18 vuaxak-lah=8+10. 
19 beleh-lah=9-+10. 
20 hun-inak=1 20, or 1 man. 
21 hen-ah ru-ca-vuinak=1 on the second score, or on the second 20. 
22 quib ru-ca-vuinak—2 on the second score, or on the second 20. 
30 laheb ru-ca-vuinak=10 on the second score, or on the second 20. 
40 ca-vuinak=2 20. 
50 laheb r-oxe’al=10 on the third score. 
60 ox-c/al=3 Xx 20. 
70 laheb ru-cah-vuinak=10 on the fourth score. 
80 cah-vuinak=4 20. 
100 ho-e’al=5 x 20. 
200 ho-tue=5 x40. 
Stoll interprets the henah ru-ca-vuinak of the above list by ‘*1 sein 
2x 20;” that is, 1 of, or belonging to, 220 or the second 20. This is 
exactly the same as saying one on the second score. The 7 for which 
‘*sein ” stands is the third person, singular, possessive pronoun, as in 
rupat, ** his house.” 
In Quekchi (or K’ak’chi), from which the next example of numbers 
above 10 is taken, we follow the ‘* Vocabulario Castellano-ICak’chi ” 
of Enrique Bourgeois, as published by A. L. Pinart (pp. 7-8), always, 
however, changing the Spanish 7 to /.

10 laheb. 16 guac-lahu=6-+10. 
11 hun-lahu=1-+10. 17 guk-lahu=7+10. 
12. kab-lahu=2+10. 18 guaxak-lahu=8-+10. 
13 ox-lahu=3-+10. 19 bele-lahu=9+10. 
14 kabahu, or kaa-lahu=4+10. 20 hun-may. 
15 ho-lahu=5+10 
Why may or ma? is used here instead of kal, the proper term for 
20, is not apparent, as it is a term applied in counting a particular 
class of objects. Charencey’ remarks as follows in regard to it: 
Ainsi le Cakgi posseéde au moins cing termes pour rendre notre nom de nombre 20, 
suivant les objets auquels il se rapporte. Ainsi, l’on dira huvine, s'il s’agit de comp- 
ter des graines de cacao ou de pataste (cacao sauvage); huntaab, pour les couteaux 
et instruments de fer ou de métal; hunyut, pour les plumes yertes; hwmai, s'il s’agit
