This word is given in the _Livre Sacré des Quichès_ as the name of their highest divinity, but the resemblance may be accidental. Father Ximenes, who translated the _Livre Sacrè_, derives the name from the Quiché _hu rakan_, one foot. Father Thomas Coto, in his Cakchiquel Dictionary, (MS. in the library of the Am. Phil. Soc.) translates _diablo_ by _hurakan_, but as the equivalent of the Spanish _huracan_, he gives _ratinchet_. Hyen, a poisonous liquor expressed from the cassava root. (Las Casas, Hist.

The latter truncated form of the word was adopted by Rafinesque and others, as a general name for the people and language of Hayti.
