The Mayan Meaning of A Winakena

Posted in New Mesoamerican Mythology with tags on Saturday, October 20, 2007 by The Pakalian Group of Mexico

We have received some email asking for the meaning of the expression A WINAKENA above Lord Pakal Ahau’s image. It is a beautiful greetings sentence and perhaps, one of the most humble Mayan hieroglyphs in our native language. It means: ‘I’m Your Servant.’

In the Dictionary of Mayan Hieroglyphs is the catalog number T229. We also love that our language is identified with numbers. Perhaps, Mayan scholars should start a numbered catalog of English phrases in a special dictionary that contain idioms. Just our thought!
