Tepew Q'ukumatz
Translators of some of the major editions of the Popol Wuj (e.g., Christenson 2007: 17, lines 145-146; Recinos 2012: 23) express the phrase "serpiente emplumada" (feathered serpent) as the proper name of the divine figure Q'ukumatz (or Gucumatz, in Recinos's orthography), more commonly known as the Mesoamerican god, Quetzalcoatl. But K'iche' translator and scholar Sam Colop (2011, 2008) offers a different interpretation, which we represent below in the original Spanish.
