In reply to Karen.

YEAH! That nab' thing totally caught me too. I thought it was "rain", translated the poetry as such, and showed it to Pedro on a whim. He then explained to me that nab' a means something like "right there", or "there it is"... not to be confused with rain (nab'). He also mentioned that the Q'anjob'al in the book is the Soloma variant, so they add some extra stuff that isn't present in the Jolom Konob' version. That might explain your toq.

I really wish i had a better grasp of Q'anjob'al as well. :P
