Kar

En cambio al español, el texto k'iche' no distingue entre pez (kar) y pescado (kar). A lo largo del Popol Wuj, los peces y el pesado aparecen junto con el cangrejo (tap), indicando una importante conexion entre los animales del mar.

Unlike in Spanish, but like English, the K'iche' text does not distinguish between fish, the living animal (kar) and fish, food prepared for consumption (kar). Throughout the Popol Wuj, fish (kar) and crabs (tap) often appear together, suggesting an important connection between and among the animals of the sea.
