216 In our representation of this word we excise to yield uyaw1R1 ‘again’. Espinosa Pérez
(1935:161) encloses the sequence in parentheses at the same point in the text, suggesting that there
was some difficult-to-interpret set of letters in the original manuscript. It is not clear from his discussion, hwoever,
what precisely his use of parentheses indicates. Note that uyaw1R1 ‘again’ would be quite appropriate here given
the overall doctrinal point at this point in the catechism, i.e., that on Judgment Day, Jesus will send the wicked
Christians back to Hell, where they have been waiting prior to Judgment Day.
217 Note that here we have changed to ikua. We assume that the original was interpreted by a transcriber
as , and that the original form of the word was , which is one of two typical orthographic representations
of ikua in the ecclesiastical texts (see Table 3.1 and (6.33a)), the other being .
