[53-1] “Die bewundernswürdige Feinheit und consequente Logik in der
Ausbildung des Maya Zeitwortes setzt eine Kultur voraus, die sicherlich
weit ueber die Zeiträume hinaus zurückreicht, welche man bis jetzt
geneight war, der Amerikanischen Civilization zuzuschreiben.”--Otto
Stoll, _Zur Ethnographie der Republik Guatemala_, s. 148 (Zurich, 1884).
Compare the remarks of Wilhelm von Humboldt on the Maya conjugation, in
his essay on the American verb, as published in my _Philosophic Grammar
of the American Languages, as set forth by Wilhelm von Humboldt_, pp.
35-39 (Philada., 1885).
[54-1] Gavarrete’s words are, “Pasó por manos de muchos personas
versadas en los idiomas indigenos sin que pudiese obtenerse una
traduccion integra y exacta de su testo, habiendo sido bastante, sin
embargo, lo que de su sentido pudo percibirse, para venir en
conocimiento de su grande importancia historica.”--_Boletin de la
Sociedad Economica_.
[54-2] The Abbé says that Gavarrete gave him the original (_Bibliothêque
Mexico-Guatemalienne_, p. 14). But that gentleman does not take to
himself credit for such liberality. He writes “El testo original quedó
sin embargo en su poder,” etc. Ubi suprá.
[57-1] As the slight aspirate, the Spanish _h_, does not exist in the
Cakchiquel alphabet, nor yet the letter _d_,the[TN-12] baptismal name
“Hernandez,” takes the form “Ernantez.”
[57-2] “Se casan muy niños,” says Sanchez y Leon, speaking of the
natives.--_Apuntamientos de la Historia de Guatemala_, p. 24.
