About 1640 a number of Indians in the province of Acapulco were put to death for having buried enchanted ashes beneath the floor of a chapel! (Serna, _Manual de Ministros_, p. 52.) [55-‡] “Nagual ist in seiner correcten Form _naoal_ ein echtes Quiché-Wort, ein Substantivum instrumentale, vom Stamme _naó_, wissen, erkennen. _Naoal_ ist dasjenige, womit oder woran etwas, in diesem Falle das Schicksal des Kindes, erkannt wird, und hat mit dem mexikanischen _nahualli_ (Hexe), mit dem man es vielleicht in Verbindung bringen möchte, nichts zu schaffen.” _Guatemala_, s. 238. [57-*] The Abbé Brasseur observes: “Le mot _nahual_, qui vet dire toute science, ou science de tout, est fréquemment employé pour exprimer la sorcellerie chez ces populations.” _Bulletin de la Sociétè de Géographie_, 1857, p. 290. In another passage of his works the speculative Abbé translates _naual_ by the English “know all,” and is not averse to believing that the latter is but a slight variant of the former.
