Note 18 — THE ANNALS OF THE CAKCHIQUELS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Ah chay, literally, “master of obsidian.” As this stone was largely used for arrow heads and other weapons, the expression in this connection seems to mean “master of arms.” Ah am, from am, to take, seize. Brasseur construes these words as in apposition to vach: “Whom shall we make our master of arms,” etc.
