Komajkun (gen. 5)

Regarding the name of the leader of the fifth generation of the Ajaw K'iche' lineage, anthropologist Allen J. Christenson (2007: 285n881) translates Co Mahun, as it is written in colonial K'iche', as such: "Aj Kun is a 'healer/doctor. The m- prefix is a negative marker, which would make the name read something like 'Not a Healer.' As a verb, maj is “to seize, steal, grasp.” Thus an alternative might be 'Seizes Medicine.'" Colop (cited below) suggests the contrary, because he reads Comah (or Komaj in contemporary spelling) as "blood," and hun (here interpreted as kun), as "to cure or heal."

Sobre el nombre del líder de la quinta generación del linaje Ajaw K'iche', el lingüista k'iche' Sam Colop (2008: 217n403) afirma que el nombre Komajkun se compone de las voces komaj, "sangre", y kun, "raíz verbal de 'curar'", y de esta forma "probablemente quiere decir médico de los males de sangre." La interpretación de Allen Christenson (citado arriba) indica el contrario, es decir que el nombre del dios significa "no es médico", debido al prefijo ma, o 'no'.
