Note 41 — THE ANNALS OF THE CAKCHIQUELS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The description of the installation of Baahol as head chief, is an interesting passage. Unfortunately, several of the terms used are not found in the dictionaries, at least with any appropriate meaning. Thus, paz is now applied to the swathing bands of infants; cuçul is the cradle or bundle in which infants[204] are fastened; while tah I have not found at all. Guzman gives the expression, titil ana abah, caka uleuh xak, with the explanation, “Colores con que ungian los señores,” and Ah titil, etc., “Señores ungidos de estos colores quando eran puestos en señorios.” (Compendio de Nombres en Lengua Cakchiquel, MS., 170-4.)
