[37-1] Father Coto, in his MS., _Vocabulario Cakchiquel_, gives the rendering “mandadero,” and states that one was elected each year by the principals of each _chinamitl_, to convey messages. He adds: “Usan mucho de este nombre en el Pueblo Atitlan.” [37-2] Compare my edition of the _Cakchiquel Grammar_, p. 58. Brasseur translates this title erroneously, “decorated with a bracelet.”--_Hist. des Nations Civilisées_, etc., Tome. II, p. 515. [37-3] “El retorico, platico.” Pantaleon de Guzman gives the fuller form, _naol ah uchan_, which means “he who knows, the master of speech.”--_Compendio de Nombres en Lengua Cakchiquel_, MS. [37-4] Usually written by ellipsis, _atzih vinak_. Brasseur translates it “distributor of presents,” but it appears to be from _tzih_, word, speech. The vocabularies are, as usual, very unsatisfactory. “_Atzijh vinak_, Principal deste nombre.”--_Dicc. Cakchiquel Anon._ [38-1] _Dicc. Cakchiquel Anon_,[TN-11] MS., sub voce. [38-2] _Requète de Plusieurs Chefs Indiens d’Atitlan à Philippe II_, in Ternaux-Compans, _Recueil de Pièces relatives à la Conquête du Mexique_, p. 418. [38-3] Not “of the bird’s nest,” “ceux du nid de l’oiseau,” as Brasseur translates it (_Hist. du Mexique_, Tome. II, p. 89), nor “casa de la águila,” house of the eagle, as it is rendered by Fuentes y Guzman, _Recordacion Florida_, Tom. I, p. 21. _[c,]iquin_ is the generic term for bird. [39-1] _The Names of the Gods in the Kiche Myths of Central America_, in the _Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society_, 1881. [40-1] “Chamalcan u bi qui gabauil Cakchequeleb, xa Zotz u vachibal.”--_Popol Vuh_, p. 224. [40-2] _Hist. des Nations Civ. du Mexique_, Tom. II, p. 173. [40-3] “El quinto _Cam_, esto es; amarillo, pero su significado es culebra.”--Ximenez, _Las Historias del Origen de los Indios de Guatemala_, p. 215. There are two errors in this extract. The name is not _Cam_, but _Can_, and it does not mean yellow, which is _[t]an_. [41-1] I have suggested an explanation of this strange term to apply to the highest and most beneficent of their divinities, in a short article in the _American Antiquarian_, 1885, “The Chief God of the Algonkins in his Character as a Cheat and a Liar.” [42-1] Pantaleon de Guzman, _Compendio de Nombres en Lengua Cakchiquel_, MS. On the rôle of the Tzitzimime in Aztec mythology see my _American Hero-Myths_, p. 78. [42-2] “Al duende que anda en los montes llaman _ru vinakil chee_ vel _çaki[c]oxol_.”--Coto, _Vocabulario_, MS., s. v. Monte. _Zak_, white; _[c]ox_, to make fire. Brasseur’s translation, “Le blanc abime de feu,” is indefensible. [42-3] See a paper entitled “The Folk Lore of Yucatan,” contributed by me to the _Folk-Lore Journal_, Vol. I, 1883.
