Changes in naming of House of Cold
The House of Cold was one of the challenges for the Hero Twins put in place by the Lords of Xibalba. However, the name changes depending on whether Jun Junajpu and Wuqub’ Junajpu, or Junajpu and Xb’alamke are entering. The name itself changes from “House of Cold” or “Shivering/Rattling House” to “Kneeling House.” Ximénez first calls it, in K’iche’, “vcab / chi cut xuxulim ha vbi ꜩaꜩ chi teu vpam zac xuruxuh zac / caracoh,” and, in Spanish, “casa donde arrodillaban, do solo auía mucho / frío de muy intolerable, eínsoportable frío” (15r).
