With this I cannot agree, as the adverb _uay_ always refers to the place (in no matter how wide an accepation) where the speaker is. Therefore I translate it "here, (_i. e._ to this general country of Yucatan, and at first) to the province Chacnouitan." The province referred to was, I doubt not, somewhere around Lake Peten. The word _chac_ is often used in local names in Yucatan, and usually means either "water" or "red," as it is a homonym with several significations. Several names similar to it are found in the Peten district. On Lake Yaxta, are the ruins of the very ancient city Napeten, and that lake may have once been called "Chac-napeten," "the water of Napeten." Again, on the road from Peten to Bacalar is the town Chacnabil, and the compound _Chacnabiltan_ would mean "toward or in the direction of Chacnabil" (see _Itinerarios y Leguarios que proceden de Merida, etc._, p. 15, Merida, 1851). The Itzas always remembered the Peten district, and when they met with reverses in northern Yucatan, they returned to it and established an important State there, which was not destroyed until the last decade of the seventeenth century. 3. _Hunpel haab minan ti hokal haab_, "one year lacking from five score years." The name Ahmekat is probably an old form for _ahmeknah_ or _ahmektan_, both of which are given in the _Diccionario de Motul_ for chieftain, leader, captain. 4. _Lai tun_, the relative _lai_ with the particle _tun_, which is called by Beltran a "particula adornativa." _uchci_ is the aorist of the defective verb _uchul_, _uchi_, _uchuc_, to happen, to take place, come to pass. _Emob_ is the third plural of _emel_, to descend, to disembark, arrive. Pio Perez translates the phrase _ca emob uay lae_, "luego bajaron aqui." As this was written in the province of Mani, the "here" now refers in a narrower sense to the vicinity of the writer. The word _chuulte_ I take to be an error of transcription for _uchci_, as it is so translated by Pio Perez. It is noteworthy that the word _chicpahci_, "discovered," conveys the sense that Chichen Itza was already in existence when the migration here recorded reached northen[TN-15] Yucatan. It is from _chicul_, a sign or mark by which something is recognized. Of the proper names in this section Bakhalal, "the canebrakes" (_halal_, the cane, _bak_, a roll or enclosure), is the modern province of Bacalar, on the east coast of the peninsula. _Ziyan caan_ appears to be used as a synonym of it, or else refers to a part of it. Its meaning is a picturesque reference to the view from the sea shore, where the horizon is clearly defined, and the sky seems to rise from the water, "the birth of the sky;" _Ziyan_, birth, _caan_, sky.
