What reading level is Day Symbols of the Maya Year book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Popol-Vuh speaks of a Zo'tzi-ha, "bat house, " one of the five regions of the underworld. There dwells the Cama-zo'tz, "the death-bat, " the great beast that brings death to all who approach it, and also bites off the head of Hunapu.
Instead of having to surmise this fancied relation, I think theexplanation is to be found in the fact that similarity in the form ofthe glyph is indicative of a similarity in the sounds of the wordsrepresented. Here the _ch_ becomes _x_ (sh).
Dr Seler also call...s attention in this connection to the animal figuresin Dres. 36a and elsewhere, which are "represented as plunging downfrom heaven with torches in their paws, and fire also issuing from thetassel-like ends of their tails, which doubtless denote the lightning, the death-dealing servant of the Chac. " By the mention of this lastword--_chac_--Dr Seler has shown that correct reasoning by a differentline leads to precisely the same result as that which appeals to thephonetic or ikonomatic character of the symbol.
