Tz'aqol

Colop (2008: nota 1, página 201) observa que el nombre divino, aquí escrito en forma de quiasmo, significa "Literalmente el 'constructor' y 'creador'. Tz'qa y bit son raíces verbales 'construir' y 'crear'. Tz'aq quiere decur 'construcción' y bit 'creación'. El sufijo -ol, en ambos sustantivos, es marcador agentivo."

Christenson (2007: 36) calls the relationship between Tz'aqol and B'itol, translated as "Framer" and "Shaper," respectively, "associative parallelism," or the use of the literary device of parallelism to show complimentary elements. Specifically, Tz'aqol and B'itol, "Framer and Shaper," are an example of "functional association," a poetic device "in which two elements act in a similar manner."

In the text proper, Christenson (2007: note 12, p. 51) writes, "Tz'aqol (Framer) refers to one who makes something by putting things together (i.e., a building from stone or adobe, a meal from various ingredients, or a woven cloth from individual threads)."
