The generic term for their divinities, employed by Xahila, and also frequently in the _Popol Vuh_, is _[c]abuyl_, which I have elsewhere derived from the Maya _chab_, to create, to form. It is closely allied to the epithets applied in both works to the Deity, _[c,]akol_, the maker, especially he who makes something from earth or clay; _bitol_, the former, or fashioner; _[c]aholom_, the begetter of sons; _alom_, the bearer of children; these latter words intimating the bi-sexual nature of the principal divinity, as we also find in the Aztec mythology and elsewhere. The name _[c]axto[c]_, the liar, from the verb _[c]axto[c]oh_, to lie, also frequently used by Xahila with reference to the chief god of his nation in its heathendom, may possibly have arisen after their conversion to Christianity; but from the coincidence that the Algonkin tribes constantly applied such seemingly opprobrious terms to their principal deity, it may have arisen from a similar cycle of myths as did theirs.[41-1] There are references in Xahila’s _Annals_ to the Quiche deities, Exbalanquen, Cabrakan, Hunahpu, and Tohil, but they do not seem to have occupied any prominent place in Cakchiquel mythology. Several minor gods are named, as _Belehe Toh_, nine Toh, and _Hun Tihax_, one Tihax; these appellations are taken from the calendar. Father Pantaleon de Guzman furnishes the names of various inferior deities, which serve to throw light on the Cakchiquel religion. Four of these appear to be gods of diseases, _Ahal puh_, _Ahal te[t]ob_, _Ahal xic_, and _Ahál [t]anya_; at least three of these second words are also the designations of maladies, and _ahal_ is probably a mistake of the copyist for _ahau_, lord. As the gods of the abode of the dead, he names _Tatan bak_ and _Tatan holom_, Father Bones and Father Skull. Another series of appellations which Guzman gives as of Cakchiquel gods, show distinctly the influence of Nahuatl doctrines. There are _Mictan ahauh_, lord of Mictlan, this being the name of the abode of darkness, in Aztec mythology; _Caueztan ahauh_, probably _Coatlan_, lord of the abode of serpents; _Tzitzimil_, the _tzitzimime_ of the Aztecs; and _Colele_, probably _colotl_, the scorpion, or _tecolotl_, the owl, which latter, under the name _tucur_, is also mentioned by Xahila.[42-1]
