Names

[Stefanie Teufel]

Hi,

unfortunately there is no online resource available. One has to order that 
book, but perhaps you will find it in a library in the States or ask the members 
of "aztlan" at famsi.

Colas, Pierre R. 
Sinn und Bedeutung klassischer Maya-Personennamen. Typologische Analyse von 
Anthropo-nymphrasen in den Hieroglypheninschriften der klassischen Maya-Kultur 
als Beitrag zur Allgemeinen Onomastik. Acta Mesoamericana, Vol. 15, 2004, 
xxxv+433pp., cloth, size 21×29,5cm, ISBN 3-931419-11-8, EUR 78,00 (including 
25pp. English summary, and database with 2800 entries on CD)
 
 The link to the publisher: 
 http://www.mexicon.de/saurwein.html
 
 
There is also one short article (in Spanish) about Maya names in Arqueología 
Mexicana 2001.
 
Best, 
Stefanie

Betreff: Re: [Nahuat-l] Names

I'd also be interested in reading about this. I don't know German, but
Google translate does a remarkably good job of rendering German text
into English. That said, Colas's thesis is not available online, as
far as I can tell. Does anyone know of an online resource
(language-agnostic)?
