El pueblo Ilokab’ era “un linaje Quiche destacado en los siglos decimoquinta y decimosexta asociado con el día K’at” (Edmonson 1965: 46’ Ximénez 1985: 315). En Utatlan , el Ilokab’ era el linaje menos influyente (Carmack 1981:163, tabla 6.2). El Ilokab’, junto con los linajes de los Tamub’ y el Ninja’ib’ “compartían administración de [Chialotz Usaqib’alja]” (Carmack 2009:106n36; veáse Camrack 1981:157; notas 13-14).
Kuwatepech y Wuqub' No'j son los señores undécimos del linaje Kaweq. Su nombre es formado de los términos k'iche' Wuqub' (Siete) y No'j (Ideas).
The Nija'ib' lineage of the K'iche' are the protagonists in at least six known land titles or títulos, which have been published in various forms and combinations by Recinos (1957), Carmack (1973, 2009), Crespo Morales (1968), Alvarez Arévalo (1987), Ochoa Garcia (2016), and Matsumoto (2017). The latter publication provides the most comprehensive bibliography, ethnohistorical context, and linguistic analysis to date for five of these documents.
(Chi) Temaj also appears in front of Wajxaqlajuj in a list of communities conquered by Don Francisco Iskin Nija'ib' as recorded in Utitulo rajawarem ajaw Don Francisco Iskin Nija’ib’. In this context, Matsumoto (2017:188 n 128) notes that "Basseta (2005:497) defines tem as “beam, plant, and seat” and Temah as ‘tomar assiento’ (to take a seat), and Coto (1983 [1656]:304) notes that the phrase tin tzal temah is “composed of tzalan, something tilted, and tem, which is a beam” (compare “Plank Place” in Tedlock 1996:189).
Ch'abi Q'aq' is listed, together with Chi Junajpu', as one of the many communities conquered by Don Francisco Iskin Nija'ib', as recorded in Utitulo rajawarem ajaw Don Francisco Iskin Nija’ib’. Matsumoto (2017:189 n 136) notes that "Edmonson (1965:19) defines Ajch’ab’iq’aq’, Chi Junajpu as a compound toponym referring to a single settlement (compare Ghabicoh Junahpu in Alvarez Arévalo 1987:40), but Recinos (1957:72n16) identifies it as a reference to the two volcanoes now known as Fuego and Agua, both in the Department of Sacatepéquez.
Matsumoto (2017:198 n 177) notes that "the ajpatan (lit. 'those of the tribute') were those who paid tribute (Carmack 1979:81; e.g., Coto 1983 [1656]:403; Guzmán 1984:68). In pre-Columbian times, patan referred not only to tribute duties but also to “a variety of obligations of life,” such as tending the milpa or aiding community members (Hill 1992:138). After the Conquest, its semantic field widened to include service and economic obligations to the colonial government and the Catholic Church (Hill 1992:138; e.g., Coto 1983 [1656]:377).
