[23-2] _Historia de Guatemala, ô Recordacion Florida_, Lib. XV, Cap. V. The _Recordacion_ was first printed at Madrid, 1882-83, edited by Don Justo Zaragoza, as one of the numbers of the _Biblioteca de los Americanistas_. [27-1] _Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan_, Vol. II, Chap. IX. I am inclined to believe that the original stone, evidently supposed to be of great value, had been stolen, and this piece of slate substituted. It was sewed up in a bag, which makes the supposition probable, as it offered facility to conceal the theft. [28-1] They are referred to by the Archbishop Garcia Pelaez, in these words: “Los planos y vistas tomadas por el comisionado y el informe que las acompaña, muestran vestijios de adoratorios, fortificaciones y trazas de edificios, calles y plazas ajustadas à dimensiones y con elecion de materias en su estructura.”--_Memorias para la Historia del Antiguo Reyno de Guatemala_. Por Don Francisco de Paula Garcia Pelaez, Tom. I, p. 15, (Guatemala, 1851). [28-2] The names applied to these intercalary days are analyzed differently by various authorities. For the etymology given of _nemontemi_, I have followed M. Remi Simeon, in his notes to Dr. Jourdanet’s translation of Sahagun’s _Historia de Nueva España_; the Cakchiquel _[tz]api_ is undoubtedly from _[tz]ap_, fault, evil, crime. [31-1] _May_ is allied to the verb _meho_, to go somewhere and return again. Hence _may_ came to mean a cycle of years, months or days. [31-2] _Apuntamientos de la Historia de Guatemala_, p. 28. [32-1] “_Chinamitl_, seto o cerca de cañas,” from _chinantia_, to build a fence, to enclose.--Molina, _Vocabulario de la Lengua Mexicana_. [32-2] Torresano, in his _Arte de la Lengua Cakchiquel_, MS., gives this word as _ca_, which indicates its probable derivation from the verb _cae_, to join together, to unite, “those united by a common tie.” [32-3] Coto, _Vocabulario de la Lengua Cakchiquel_, MS., sub voce, _Cuñado_. [32-4] Coto, u. s., s. v. _Alguaçil_. The word _[c,]alam_ is now applied to the canvas or tablets on which are painted the saints in the churches. It also means a box or chest.--_Dicc. Cakchiquel Anon._ [32-5] See Brasseur, _Hist. du Mexique et l’ Am. Cent._, Tom. II, pp. 489-90. [33-1] “Tienen tambien renombres de sus chinamitales ò parcialidades que tambien son de signos vel nombres señalados, como Xahila, etc.”--Coto, _Vocabulario_, MS., s. v. _Renombre_. [34-1] _Hist. du Mexique_, Tom. II, p. 84. [34-2] Their names are given in the _Titulos de la Casa de Ixcuin Nehaib_, p. 3. They are called “pueblos principales, cabezas de calpules.” The Nahuatl word, _calpulli_, here used, meant the kinsfolk actual and adopted, settled together. They were the gentes of the tribe. See Ad. F. Bandelièr, _On the Social Organization and Mode of Government of the Ancient Mexicans_, for a full explanation of their nature and powers. [34-3] _The Lenâpé and their Legends_, p. 139.
