Roys/Bac/131: Colomte. Ceophloeus scapularis, Vigors. (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard [1916], Vol. L, p. 130). DeLattre's woodpecker. The bill is used to bleed the gum to relieve toothache (Roys, Ethno-Botany, 185). It is cited in an incantation for eruptions, fever, and a seizure (MS p. 104), and in one for a worm in the tooth (MS pp. 164-65, 168).
Roys/Bac/132: Chac-dzidzib ("red-variegated"). Cardinalis cardinalis yucatanicus, Ridgway, Yucatán cardinal. Its feathers were a remedy for blood-vomit, dysentery, and spotted-macaw-spasm (Roys, Ethno-Botany, 62, 64, 208). We also find the term chac-dzidzib-kik ("red-variegated-blood") in an incantation for the lewd madness of seizure (MS p. 44).
Roys/Bac/133: Chiichii. A bird of omen (Vienna Dict., f. 24r.). Cited in an incantation for jaguar-macaw-seizure (MS p. 10).
Roys/Bac/132: Cħahum. Melanerpes dubius, Cabot, Uxmal woodpecker (Buul. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harverd [1916], Vol. L, p. 130). "A crested magpie or woodpecker with a red head" (Motul Dict.). Cited in incantations for kanpetkin-waso-poisoning and a worm in the tooth (MS pp. 140, 164, 168).
Roys/Bac/133: Cħel. Cyanocita yucatanica, Dubois (Proc. Zool, Soc. Lond., 1883, p. 446), a jay. It was also the patronymic of the ruling family of Ah Kin Ch'el. Cited in an incantation for kanpetkin-wasp-seizure (MS p. 61).
Roys/Bac/133: Ah cħuy ("he who holds something suspended"). Defined as any bird of prey (Motul Dict.). Today it is the name of the kite (Pacheco Cruz, Diccionario de la fauna yucateca, 129). Cited in an incantation for seizure characterized by erotic behavior (MS p. 45).
Roys/Bac/134: Ah ii. "A certain hawk" (Motul Dict.). Resembles the ah cħuy, but is smaller; it has a short, curved beak and is yellowish; it is designated Odontriorchis palliatus mexicanus (Pacheco Cruz, Diccionario de la fauna yucateca, 146). Cited in an incantation for snake-pulsation of the abdomen (MS p. 132).
Roys/Bac/133: Ek-pip. A bird of prey said to be the same as the coz, Micrastur melanoleucus, Viellot (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard [1906], Vol. L, p. 121). Cited in incantations for seizure, sore lag, hunpedzkin-vein or -humor, and snake-pulsation of the abdomen (MS 88, 93, 96, 99, 132).
Roys/Bac/135: Kan-dzul-mo ("yellow-foreign-macaw"). Not found elsewhere, but apparently a synonym of the kan-dzul-oop. The latter is a short-tailed macaw abounding in Tabasco (Beltrán de Santa Rosa, Arte de el idioma maya, 229; Seler, Gesammelte Abhandlungen, IV, 552). The kan-dzul-mo is cited in an incantation for kanpetkin-wasp-seizure (MS pp. 47, 50-54, 59).
Roys/Bac/136: Ix ko. Ko means "the belly of an animal," "the crop of a bird," or it can be a plant name, Sonchus oleraceus, L. (?). We read of ix ko in the Rattle constellation. Sometimes the context seems to call for a bird, as when it is associated with the kite. It is also associated with the sky and clouds. Cited in incantations for seizures, ulcers, and a snake in the abdomen (MS pp. 10, 45, 50, 53, 54, 107).
Roys/Bac/136: Kubul. Oriole. Cited in incantations for a sore leg, hunpedzkin-vein or -humor, and inflamed gums (MS pp. 91, 99, 173).
Roys/Bac/136: Kuk ("shoot, sprout"). In the Books of Chilam Balam kuk sometimes means "quetzal." Cited in an incantation for ulcers (MS p. 110).
Roys/Bac/137: Mo. A general name for a large macaw (Seler, Gesammelte Abhandlung, IV, 552). In this manuscript it usually appears in compounds. The expression mo-tancas ("macaw-seizure") indicates a feature of various complaints, including convulsions and aberrations (MS pp. 6, 10, 24, 25, 46). The macaw is cited in incantations for hunpedzkin-vein or -seizure, eruptions, and to charm a scorpion (MS pp. 96, 103, 160).
On a high pyramid at Izamal was a shrine and an idol named Kin-ich-kak-mo ("sun-eye-fire-macaw"), and here at midday a macaw flew down and consumed the sacrifices with fire. Whenever there was a pestilence or great mortality, many people came bringing offerings (Lizana, Historia de Yucatán, f. 4v). Also a macaw bearing a flamming torch is portrayed on page 40b of the Dresden Codex, apparently as a symbol of drought (thompson, Maya Hieroglyphic Writing: An Introduction, 270).
In the Kaua manuscript is a picture of a macaw astride a snake, entitled Am-can-mo-ik-tancas ("spider-snake-macaw-wind-seizure"). Here apparently the macaw is likened to the am-can, a certain poisonous spider that fights vipers (Motul Dict.).
In spite of the Kaua passage, today the "macaw-seizure" spirits are not considered winds. The are still believed to be death-dealing birds that kill children. Flying over house, they vomit a substance which drops into the sleeper's mouth and causes death. The soul of an unbaptized child becomes a mo-tancas (Redfield and Villa, Chan Kom, 169). Nevertheless, it must be admitted that some of the modern evil winds (ik) are ascribed to the noun macaw or to tancas ("seizure"). We are told of the bird of the high forest (Pacheco Cruz, Diccionario de la fauna yucateca, 232). There is also a tancas-ik, which I would translate as "seizure-wind" (Redfield and Redfield, "Disease and Its Treatment in Dzitas, Yucatán," 62).
Roys/Bac/138: Mucuy. Columbigallina rufipennis, Bonaparte, ground dove. Tórtola (Motul Dict.). Cited in an incantation for the placenta (MS p. 179).
Roys/Bac/138: Oo. Stated to be a "bird" and so implied in the contexts here, although sometimes, perhaps, a mythical bird. Insects, however, are often ritually designated "birds" in this manuscript. Cited in an incantation for traveler-seizure (MS pp. 17-19, 22, 24). It is also the name of a seizure (oo-tancaz) (MS pp. 47, 50-52, 54, 56, 57, 60).
Roys/Bac/138: Op, or ix op. A large macaw with red plumage, bluish wings, a long tail, a yellowish or reddish beak, and a yellowish circle around the eye (Pacheco Cruz, Diccionario de la fauna yucateca, 301). Cited in an incantation for gout (MS p. 91).
Roys/Bac/139: Puhuy. Pájaro pluma, Parauque. Variously designated Nyctidromus albicollis yucatanensis, Nelson (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard [1916], Vol. L, p. 127). and Geococyx mexicanus (Pacheco Cruz, Diccionario de la fauna yucateca, 212). It is a nocturnal bird of omen (Vienna Dict., f. 158v.). Cited in an incantation for asthma (MS p. 68).
Roys/Bac/140: Sipip. Not found elsewhere. In view of the occasional doubling of a syllable, this might indicate the Sip. The Sip was a hunter's god with the form of a small deer (Redfield and Villa, Chan Kom, 117). Pip ("the fat of a fowl"), however, is part of the name of the ek-pip-hawk. In an incantation for various seizures the sipip is associated with the ko-bird of the sky and clouds, which suggests something like the ek-pip (MS p. 10).
Roys/Bac/140: Ix tacay. Myozetes similis superciliosis, Bonaparte. Mexican large-billed tyrant, Couch's kingbird (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard [1916], Vol. L, p. 133). In an incantation for a certain wasp-seizure we read of "8,000 tacay-birds" (MS pp. 47, 61). In another, we find it cited for the placenta (MS p. 179).
Roys/Bac/140: Tok-pap ("flint-jay"). Cited in an incantation for hunpedzkin-seizure (MS p. 89).
Roys/Bac/140: Uakeh. Uak can mean the sound of something bursting. The uakeh is associated with the hawk, jay, and woodpecker. It is cited in incantations for snake-pulsation in the abdomen, kanpetkin-wasp-seizure, and inflamed gums (MS pp. 132, 142, 164, 169-70, 172).
Roys/Bac/141: Uixum. Although it is called a "bird," the context suggests a flying insect. Cited in an incantation for snake-pulsation in the abdomen (MS p. 119).
Roys/Bac/142: Yaxum ("green bird"). Apparently a name for the quetzal (Roys, Chilam Balam of Chumayel, 63). Cited in incantations for a sore leg, hunpedzkin-vein or -humor, and ulcers (MS p. 91, 94, 99, 110).

Cħicħ 1b) db) in deity names:
Roys/Chu/66: Uayom-cħicħ: uay means a familiar spirit, and -om is an archaic suffix indicating either a participial or a future form of a verb. Cħicħ signifies a bird. Ah uayom cħamac was a wizard who could turn himself into a fox, and the translator believes uayom cħicħ indicates a similar relationship with a bird. This title may be associated with the figures of birds worn by the carved figures at Chichen Itzá.
