The founding of Uxmal by Ahcuitok Tutulxiu is recorded in this paragraph; _ahcui_ is the name of a species of owl, _tok_ is the flint stone. By some old writers Uxmal is spelled Oxmal, which would give the meaning "to pass thrice," _ox_, three, _mal_, to pass. From _mal_, preterite _mani_, also was derived the name of the chief city of the Tutulxiu, with a peculiar signification explained in a note on a previous page. Mr. Stephens has taken considerable pains to prove that Uxmal with its astonishing edifices was inhabited at and after the conquest (_Incidents of Travel in Yucatan_, Vol. II, p. 259); there may, indeed, have been an Indian village there, but the first European traveler who has left us a description of it, and who visited it in 1586, when many natives, born before the conquest, were still living, describes the massive buildings as even then in ruins, and very large trees growing upon them. An old Indian told him that according to their traditions, these structures had at that time been built nine hundred years, and that their builders had left the country nearly that long ago. (_Relacion Breve y Verdadera de algunas cosas de las muchas qui[TN-16] sucedieron al Padre Fray Alonzo Ponce_, in the _Coleccion de Documentos para la Historia de España_, vol. LVIII, p. 461.) The phrase _u heɔicab Ahcuitok Tutulxiu Uxmal_ is translated by Pio Perez "se pobló en Uxmal," [TN-17]established himself in Uxmal," conveying the impression that he merely moved to that city. This is, however, not the sense of the original. _Heɔicab_ is an active verb governing Uxmal as its direct object, and means to found firmly or promptly. The expression _halach uinicil_, the real man, the true man, is a common idiom for governor or ruler, he being the only "real man" in an autocratic community (ante p. 26).
