o In Drawing 88 of Naj Tunich (Figure 13b), the short sentence ’i ko-jo-yi ju-tz’u ’i kohoy hutz’ “and then descended the pilgrims” appears. A more precise translation—one consistent with the Yucatec entry—would be ‘person in ritual retreat’, as was true of these individuals. The entry is under /h/ in the (Colonial Yucatec) Motul Dictionary, so we must assume loss of the /j/ vs. /h/ distinction by the horizon of these examples at Cancuen and Naj Tunich.

o [In CNC Panel 1] the phrase reads ju-tz’u a-’AK’-no-ma hutz’ ak’nom “pilgrim offerer” (cf. Yuc hutz’ ‘apartarse, desviar, arredrar’).

·     Sim – unfortunately, the Spanish translations do not map in a very straightforward way to English terms:

o Apartarse: turn away, move away, deviate.

o Desviar: divert, deflect, divert.

o Arredrar: Scare, dare, derail.

The sense that MacLeod&Bíró-DUDW seems to be trying to assign to Yucatec hutz’ is “pilgrim” which is hard to relate to the English translations of apartarse and desviar. In the absence of evidence that this is incorrect, I accept the sense “pilgrim”, particularly in the context of the Naj Tunich cave (which, it is known, the Maya made pilgrimages to).
