Chapter 9

[224-2] Dr Brinton (Primer, etc, p. 93) explains it as the symbol of a drum. He remarks that "in a more highly conventionalized form we find them in the Cod. Troano thus [giving plate LXIV, 51], which has been explained by Pousse, Thomas, and others as making fire or as grinding paint. It is obviously the _dzacatan_, what I have called the 'pottery decoration' around the figures, showing that the body of the drum was earthenware." Yet (p. 130 and fig. 75) Dr. Brinton explains this identical group or paragraph as a representation of the process of making fire from the friction of two pieces of wood. It seems to mo clear that this glyph represents something in the picture, and not the personage, as there is a special glyph for this. A comparison of the groups in the two divisions of this plate (Tro. 19) and plates 5 and 6 b of the Dresden Codex shows that the glyph refers to the work or action indicated by the pictures. That it refers to something in or indicated by the pictures, and that no drum is figured, will, I think, be admitted by most students of these codices.

[225-1] Dr Brinton (Primer, p. 117) errs in regarding the superfix to this glyph as the _kin_ or sun symbol.

[227-1] Dr Brinton (Primer, p. 110) says the object represented by this symbol is "a polished stone, shell pendant, or bead." This authority considers the dot or eye in the upper part as a perforation by which it was strung on a cord. If this be true, it is strange that we see them nowhere in the codices strung on strings, though necklaces are frequently represented; and that we do see them piled up in vessels, see them putting forth shoots and leaves, and see birds and quadrupeds devouring thorn. Dr Brinton himself (p. 123, E. No. 29) gives one of these sprouting _kan_ symbols, which he says "is a picture of the maize plant from Cod. Tro., p. 29." That it is not used ikonomatically here is evident, as _kan_ in Maya is not a name for maize or grain of maize.

[232-1] First Ann. Rep. Bur. Ethn., p. 386.

[232-2] Dr Brinton (Primer, p. 65) says: "Former students have been unable to explain this design" and suggests that it is a maggot.

[232-3] Brinton follows Brasseur in supposing it represents the "grasping hand," and thinks it is a rebus of _mach_, "asir, tomar con los manos."

[236-1] Page 66.

[237-1] Notwithstanding his definition given above, Dr Brinton suggests in his late work that the symbols of the day bear a close resemblance to some of the sun signs.

[238-1] For explanation of the inclosed comb-like characters, Landa's _ca_, see Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, page 355.

[239-1] Brinton thinks that in some of the forms it indicates "a trail" or "footprints," which are meanings of _oc_.

[240-1] I was not aware that _oc_ had the signification "dog" in any of the Mayan languages, nor do I find that Seler or Brinton appeal to this fact in their efforts to explain the day name in the Maya calendar. However, Dr Brinton remarks that Brasseur and Seler think that some forms of the symbol "portray the ears of a dog, as in some of the Mayan dialects the dog is called _oc_."

[240-2] Dr Brinton (Primer, p. 95) says that this is called "an article of food, by Thomas." While this is correct in the sense that I speak of the turkey (_kutz_ or _cuitz_) as food, it is incorrect in giving the impression that I interpret the symbol by "article of food," as I have always interpreted it "turkey."

[245-1] Dr Brinton says it is the face of an old woman with a peculiar pointed earmark.

[248-1] Brinton says the _ben_ symbol looks to him "like a wooden bridge, the two supports of which are shown and which was sometimes covered with a straw mat." If so, it must be shown in profile, and the hanging marks above (see LXVI, 16, 17, 19) would seem to be without signification; moreover, in LXVI, 18, the supports hang from above, which would, on this theory, imply a hanging bridge.

[250-1] Cong. Inter. Americanistes, 1881, tom. 2.

[250-2] Dr Brinton says the usual form suggests scattered grain husks, the word for which is _xiix_.
