"XMA KABA KIN,", OR INTERCALARY DAYS.

|-------|---------------------------------------------------|-------| | | | July. | |-------|---------------------------------------------------|-------| | 1 | 10, Kan, yutz kin, u nay eb haab, xma kaba kin | | | | ca culac u chun haab p.o.o.p (cradle of the year, | | | | &c.). | 11 | | 2 | 11, Chicchan, u lob kin, u tup kak ahtoc (the | | | | burner puts out the fire). | 12 | | 3 | 12, Quimi, u lob kin. | 13 | | 4 | 13, Manik, utz u tial sabal ziil (to make | | | | presents). | 14 | | 5 | 1, Lamat, yutz kin. | 15 | |----------------|------|------------------------------------|-------|

The next year would commence with 2 Muluc, the following one with 3 Hix, the fourth year with 4 Cauac, the fifth with 5 Kan; and so on continually, until the completion of the 13 numbers of the week of years, which commences with the day Kan; after which the weeks of Muluc, Hix, and Cauac follow, in such manner that, after the lapse of 52 years, the week of years again begins with 1 Kan, as in the preceding almanac. Respecting the biss.e.xtile, I have already manifested my opinion in the chronology of the Indians.

The translation of the names of the months and days is not as easy as it would appear, because some are not at present in use, and others, again, from the different meanings attached to them, and from the want of their true p.r.o.nunciation, cannot be correctly understood; however, be this as it may, I shall endeavour to decipher them as nearly as possible, and according to the present state of the language, beginning with the months.

1. Pop, mat of cane. 2. Uo, frog. 3. Zip, a tree. 4. Zodz, a bat. 5.

Zec, obsolete. 6. Xul, end or conclusion. 7. Dzeyaxkin; I know not its signification, although the meaning of _yaxkin_ is summer. 8. Mol, to reunite. 9. Chen, a well. 10. Yax, first, or Yaax, green or blue, though, as the following month is _Zac_, white, I believe this should be Yaax. 11. Zac, white. 12. Quez, a deer. 13. Mac, a lid or cover. 14.

Kankin, yellow sun, perhaps because in this month of April the atmosphere is charged with smoke; owing to the woods being cut down and burned, the light of the sun is darkened, and at 5 P.M. it appears red and throws but little light. 15. Moan, antiquated, and its signification forgotten. 16. Pax, any instrument of music. 17. Kayab, singing. 18. c.u.mku, a thunder-clap, or noise like the report of a cannon, which is heard in the woods while the marshes are drying, or from some other cause. Uayebhaab, Xma kaba kin, which signifies bed, or chamber of the year, or days without name, were the appellations given to the intercalary days, as they appertained to no month to which a name was given.
