·     In AT-E1168-lecture11.t0:28:08-0:30:17, Tokovinine explains that Uhx Haab Te’ is the Classic Maya name for Rio Azul.

·     Beliaev-WTaOT.p66.pdfp4.col1.para1.l+5: Oxhabte’ is a toponym connected with Rio Azul, as for example ho-pet oxhabte’ bakab (K1383) and bakab ho-pet oxhabte’ (MS2914) “the ruler of five parts of Oxhabte’” (Reents-Budet et al, 1994:130).

·     Caution: there is a scenic spot also called Rio Azul in modern day Guatemala, in the highlands, about 60 km north-west of Guatemala City. It is more than 300 km from Motul de San Jose (MTL).

o This is quite different from the archaeological site of Rio Azul (RAZ), which is in the far north-east of the modern state of Petén in Guatemala and only about 100 km north-east of Motul de San Jose (MTL). Both Rio Azul (RAZ) and Motul de San Jose (MTL) are in the southern lowlands.

o The two Rio Azuls are more than 400 km apart, and the highland one was not part of Classic Maya civilization while the lowland one was.

o “Blue River” is in fact a rather obvious toponym, and it’s perhaps surprising that there aren’t more of them.
