According to Brinton the meaning is "the strong clay images." He writes in his paper, The Folk-lore of Yucatan, that "the derivation of this word is from _kat_, which, in the Diccionario Maya-Español del Convento de Motul (MS. of about 1580), is defined as 'la tierra y barro de las olleras,' but which Perez in his modern Maya dictionary translates 'ollas ó figuras de barro'; _ob_ is the plural termination; _lox_ is strong, or the strength of anything; _h'_ or _ah_, as it is often written, is the rough breathing which in Maya indicates the masculine gender." _Atole._ Nahuan _atolli_, or _atlaolli_.
