·     AT-YT2021-lecture15.t0:09:16-09:50: Yaxniil = “[The] Place of Many Lovely Cotingas” (that’s what a lovely cotinga looks like – a beautiful bird) [Sim: the right side of the slide has a colour-photograph of a lovely cotinga]. In fact the full name of that city today known as the archaeological site of El Cayo is Yax Ahkul Ha’ Yaxniil = “Green-blue / Precious Water, [the] Place of Many Turtles, the Place of Many Lovely Cotingas” – you kind of have a nice picture, you know: picturesque city, next to the river, probably a great place to be.

o Sim: One place where the full name is given is CAY Altar 4 I’3-J’4: Tahn Ch’een Yax Ahkul H’a Yaxniil. But perhaps it’s not so much the “full name” but rather that Yax Ahkul H’a is a more localized / specific area within the main centre of the El Cayo polity / CAY site (in the same way as Chik Nahb is a more localized / specific area of Hux Te’ Tuun (CLK), the (later) main centre of the Kaanul polity / “Snake Kingdom”).

o Sim: Altar 4 is referred to as Altar 1 in HoustonEtAl-TMoB.p127.pdfp138.col1.fig3.23. This is either a typo or based on a different nomenclature.
