· This is a toponym found in connection with the PNG polity.
o The name k’ina’ probably comes from K’IN + HA’ = “sun (e.g., bright?) water”, with the loss of the internal -h-.
o It is often written as K’ina in English translation (without the final glottal stop) but I try to consistently write K’ina’ (as I do Yaxha’, in acknowledgement of its etymology). I’m inconsistent in that I write the etymological -h- in Yaxha’ but not in K’ina’, but this is really to reflect common usage, which also has this inconsistency.
· It is found in the name of quite a number of individuals:
o Mayuy Ti’ Chuween, Aj K’ina’: The sculptor of the LTI Kimbell Panel. This gives pause for thought, as the LTI Kimbell Panel was carved to commemorate a vassal of YAX: it is slightly unexpected that the carver is someone not just from a rival polity, but from PNG – the historical archenemy of YAX (pointed out in a presentation, perhaps Houston or Martin (lost reference)).
o Yat Ahk, K’ina’ Ajaw: a ruler of PNG.
o Itzam K’an Ahk, K’in’a Ajaw: a ruler of PNG.
o Ix Juun Tahn Ahk, Ix K’ina’ Ajaw: The little daughter born to Ix Naman Ajaw of PNG, wife of K’inich Yo’nal Ahk II (childhoos name Kooj), ruler of PNG.
