      kan pauahtun chac

Kan Pauahtun db) an alternative name for one of the bacabs, the four deities stationed at the four world-quarters. They were sky bearers and apparently had other functions as well. The bacabs are also related to the four days which begin the Mayan year, Kan, Muluc, Hiix, and Cauac, which in turn are related to the four world directions. The bacabs have various alternative names which are as follows: for the year Kan (to the east): Ah Can Tzic Nal, Chacal Bacab, Chac Pauahtun, Chac Xib Chac; for the year Muluc (to the north): Ah Zac Dziu, Zacal Bacab, Zac Pauahtun, Zac Xib Chac; for the year Hiix (to the west): Ah Can Ek, Ekel Bacab, Ek Pauahtun, Ek Xib Chac; for the year Cauac (to the south): Hobnil, Kan Bacab, Kan Pauahtun, Kan Xib Chac. However, in the Landa discussion below it will be noted that Kan is aligned with the south / yellow, Muluc is aligned with east / red, Hiix is aligned with the north / white, and Cauac is aligned with the west / black. This shift in alignment is probably due to the fact that Landa mistakenly placed the Kan (yellow) deities in the year Kan, and thus shifted all the year bearers clockwise one quadrant.
Landa/Rel/62-63: La primera, pues, de las letras dominicales es Kan (Cauac). El año que esta letra servía era el agüero del Bacab que por otros nombres llaman Hobnil, Kanalbacab (Kanal Bacab), Kanpauahtun (Kan Pauahtun), Kanxibchac (Kan Xib Chac). A este le señalaban a la de medio día. La segunda letra es Muluc (Kan); señalabanla al oriente y su año era agüero del Bacab que llaman Canzienal (Ah Can Tzic Nal), Chacalbacab (Chacal Bacab), Chacpauahtun (Chac Pauahtun), Chacxibchac (Chac Xib Chac). La tercera letra es Ix (Muluc). Su año era agüero del Bacab que llaman Zaczini (Ah Zac Dziu?), Zacalbacab (Zacal Bacab), Zacpauahtun (Zac Pauahtun), Zacxibchac (Zac Xib Chac) y señalabanle a la parte del norte. La cuatra letra es Cauac (Hiix): su año era agüero del Bacab que llaman Hozanek (Ah Can Ek?, Ah Ho Chan Ek?), Ekelbacab (Ekel Bacab), Ekpauahtun (Ek Pauahtun), Ekxibchac (Ek Xib Chac); a esta señalaban a la parte del poniente.

Kan Xib Chac db) an alternative name for one of the bacabs, the four deities stationed at the four world-quarters. They were sky bearers and apparently had other functions as well. The bacabs are also related to the four days which begin the Mayan year, Kan, Muluc, Hiix, and Cauac, which in turn are related to the four world directions. The bacabs have various alternative names which are as follows: for the year Kan (to the east): Ah Can Tzic Nal, Chacal Bacab, Chac Pauahtun, Chac Xib Chac; for the year Muluc (to the north): Ah Zac Dziu, Zacal Bacab, Zac Pauahtun, Zac Xib Chac; for the year Hiix (to the west): Ah Can Ek, Ekel Bacab, Ek Pauahtun, Ek Xib Chac; for the year Cauac (to the south): Hobnil, Kan Bacab, Kan Pauahtun, Kan Xib Chac. However, in the Landa discussion below it will be noted that Kan is aligned with the south / yellow, Muluc is aligned with east / red, Hiix is aligned with the north / white, and Cauac is aligned with the west / black. This shift in alignment is probably due to the fact that Landa mistakenly placed the Kan (yellow) deities in the year Kan, and thus shifted all the year bearers clockwise one quadrant.

Roys/Bac/135: Kanal. Described by E. May as a large red wasp, living a few to a small nest (letter, E. W. Andrews). Cited in an incantation for kanpetkin-wasp-seizure (MS pp. 48, 54, 55).
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).

Kanal Itzam Na
Roys/Bac/154: Kanal Itzam-na ("yellow Itzamna"). Associated with Kanal Ix Chel. Cited in an incantation for a pathology of the breathing passages (u ziyan coc) (MS p. 79). See Itzam-na.

Kanal Ix Chel
Roys/Bac/154: Kanal Ix Chel ("yellow Ix Chel"). Only in this manuscript have I found a yellow aspect of this goddess. Sacal ("white") Ix Chel and Chacal ("red") Ix Chel are more familiar figures, both in colonial Maya literature and in the codices. Kanal Ix Chel is cited in an incantation for a pathology of the breathing passages (u ziyan coc) (MS pp. 65, 79, 81). Associated with Itzamna, a rain god.

Roys/Bac/127: Yax-kam. This name is not found elsewhere, and I suspect that yax-kanan is meant (cf. P.P., 1898). Kanan is Hamelia patens, Jacq., a shrub or small tree. The "yax-toc" (yax-tok, "fresh-flint") is reported as a synonym for the yax-kanan (Standl.). The "yax-kam" is cited in an incantation for chipping a flint point (MS p. 197).
