Uniiw (Uniw) or K’ank’in (Kankin) Mayan calendar Haab
I’ve been looking on the internet, trying to find an explanation for the 14th month of the Mayan Haab calendar being called both Uniiw (also spelled Uniw) and/or K’ank’in (also spelled Kankin). I know I’ve seen the explanation somewhere before. I think one name is used by one group of Maya and the other name is used by another group of Maya. But, I’m not sure and I don’t know which group uses which name. Does anyone out there know why “Uniiw” is written with “K’ank’in” beside it? Or why the Tortuguera Monument 6 2012 prophecy uses Uniiw (as translated by David Stuart) while just about every online description of the Maya calendars uses K’ank’in (or Kankin)?
