Conflicting Essays in scholarship which have been the most engaging research job I have ever done. I have also added, over the years, queries about our "dated" geology with their "computerized" confirmations together with climate changes denied since 1963. The Ten-O'clock News have been telling us to change our clocks for DSL and back again BUT no one as noticed it has been changed, more than a few years ago, from March 31 and October 31, to a week or so earlier or even a week or so later.

A Note or Two About Pacal, as a Physician.

Date: Thu, 17 May 2018 11:17:58 -0500

Subject: Found
Pacal - as ridiculed, and insulted
the word in Nahuatl is Papac[a] = to ridicule, insult someone, baldonar una mujer o otra.
Patilia = to change or misdirect someone.
Pahtilia = to cure someone
Patlanaltilo = to make someone fly (volar) (this refers to the Maya kites of 20 ribs also found with the Maori i New Zealand. (used to impress natives after landing after a big storm that almost wrecked their ship that held with 80 families.)
Huapaltlapacaloni =  a wooden trough.   (for water demanded by Pacal to wash wounds possibly)

The book is by Frances Kartunen. a woman. (1983) An Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl.
It took me three days to go through the book page by page,.
A lot of words with PAN and PAH  near the end of words referred to medicines and to herbs
used as medicines.  Pacal, who could not be a ruler because he had no family in Palenque, had a son who was a ruler after him.
