34. This is no doubt the same occurrence which is described at considerable length by Cogolludo, _Hist. de Yucatan_, Lib. III, cap. VI. But the details differ very much and the names of the messengers and the chief to whom they were sent are not identical. I believe this discrepancy can be explained, but it would extend this note too far to go into the subject here. The word _yacatunzabin_, which Avila renders "en dicha cueva," seems a compound of _y_, _actun_, _zabin_. The last is the name of the weasel; _actun_ means both a cave and a stone house. By some it is supposed to be a compound of _ac_, tortoise, and _tun_, stone, a cave resembling a hollow tortoise shell. 35. _Yoklal maix u lukul yol nacomob_, "porque no se cansaban los capitanes" (Avila). 36. Pech adds a list of the names of Conquistadores which I have not inserted, as it is less complete than that found in Cogolludo. 39. _Ma u manbal cuntahbalob u cħinal_; Avila translates this "that they shall not destroy"; but the word _cuntahbal_, from _cun_, _cumtah_, means that which is to be enchanted, and _cħinal_ is the throwing of stones. I suppose, therefore, it refers to some act of shamanism the design of which was to injure a neighbor.
