The proper names Ulmil and Ulil seem both to be derived from _ula_, host, the master of the feast. Here, again, I shall give the originals of the two previous translators. _Translation of Pio Perez._ "En este mismo periodo ô _katun_ del 8º ahau fueron á destruir al rey Ulmil porque le hacia la guerra al rey de Izamal Ulil. Trece divisiones de combatientes tenia cuando los dispersó Hunac-eel para escarmentarlos: la guerra se concluyó en el 6º ahau á los 34 años." _Translation of Brasseur._ "C'est dans la même période du Huit Ahau qu'ils allèrent attaquer le roi Ulmil, à cause de ses grands festins avec Ulil, roi d'Ytzmal: ils avaient treize divisions de troupes, lorsqu'ils furent défaits par Hunac-Eel, par celui qui donne l'intelligence. Au Six Ahau, c'en etait fait, après trente quatre ans." The name Hunac Eel should be Hunac Ceel, as it is given in the other chronicles. It means "he who causes great fear," _hunac_ in composition means much, great, and _ceel_, cold, also the fright and terror which makes one shiver as with cold ("espanto, asombro ô turbacion que causa frió." _Dicc. de Motul_, MS).[TN-18] 11. This important section describes the destruction of the great city of Mayapan, which occurred somewhere between A.D. 1420-1450. The reasons given for the act are not clear. _Tumenel u pack tulum, tumenel multepal ich cah Mayalpan_, appears to me to have the precise meaning I have given in the text; but Pio Perez translates the passage thus "fué invadido por los hombres de Itza y su rey Ulmil, el territorio fortificado de Mayalpan, porque tenia murallas, y porque gobernaba en comun el pueblo de aquella ciudad." The expression _multepal_, from _mul_, to do an act jointly, or in common, and _tepal_, to govern, is interesting as showing that the government of the country in its golden days of prosperity was not one of an autocratic monarch, but a league or confederation of the principal chiefs of the peninsula. This is also borne out by the descriptions of the ancient government to be found in the pages of Landa and Herrera. The Itzas seized the territory in and around Mayapan, but they were not the ones who destroyed the city. This was the work of _Ahuitzilɔul_, foreign mountaineers. _Ɔul_, is the common term for a foreigner in Maya, and is now-a-days applied especially to the whites. _Uitz_, mountain, is used with reference to the high sierra which runs through central Yucatan, and so Pio Perez understood _ahuitzil_, "los que tenian sus ciudades en la parte montañosa." This is probably correct, though we do not know to whom this appellation refers. Yet it may be added that another meaning can be given to the phrase; _uitz_ is the term applied by the natives in some parts of the peninsula to the artificial mounds or pyramids on which their temples were situated, which are usually called _muul_.[132-1] In this sense _ahuitzil ɔul_ should be rendered "foreigners who had great pyramids."
