<p>(4x65 = 260)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>[...] The colonial Zapotec 260-day count had four major
subdivisions of 65<br>
days each, called cocijo ̄ (pZap 3 *ko+ se7yu ‘thunder,
lightning’, als<br>
meaning “Dios de las lluuias” according to Córdova [1578b: 141r];
also<br>
referred to by Córdova as pitao ̄ ‘god’). Each was composed of
five<br>
trecenas, numbered first through fifth (Córdova 1578a: 202,
203–204).<br>
The 65-day unit is referred to in the remainder of this chapter as
the<br>
COCIYO . There are parallels to this quadripartite subdivision in
pre-<br>
Conquest codices from several Mesoamerican culture areas (Urcid
2001:<br>
90); Michel Oudijk (personal communication to Thomas Smith-Stark,<br>
2005) points out in this connection the appearance of the storm
god<br>
with each of the four quarters of the 260-day ritual calendar on
page<br>
27 of the Borgia Codex (Anders, Jansen, and García 1993: 167–174).<br>
Only in the Zapotec system, as far as we know, are these
subdivisions<br>
enumerated or recognized terminologically.</p>
