[Transcriber's note: This transcription of Rabinal-Achi was taken from
"Grammaire de la langue quichée espagnole-française" by Étienne-Charles
Brasseur de Bourbourg, published in Paris in 1862.
Where inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation appeared in the text
they have been retained, apart from the following which we identified as
misprints:
v'oyeualal, v'achihital --> v'oyeualal, v'achihilal
Chuch-Gug Chuch-Raxom --> Chuch-Gug Chuch-Raxon
Balam-Achi, Balam Quiche --> Balam-Achi, Balam-Queche
Some probable typographic errors which have not been corrected include:
NADE --> NABE
ciqibal --> ziqibal
pahabal --> u pakabal
banon --> banom
qumo --> qamo]
