Ajaw

Ajaw or Ahau (pronounced "ajaaw") ('Lord') has three significations in the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It may represent a political title attested from Mayan epigraphic inscriptions, or it may designate the concluding, 20th named day of the divinatory calendar (tzolk'in), on which a king's k'atun-ending rituals would fall. It symbolizes the Sun God as cosmic lord (the word ahau literally means lord).
