Roman calls it female, Dangleria a male G.o.d. The t.i.tles of this G.o.d are sufficient to indicate the supreme G.o.d of nature, and they have astonishing a.n.a.logies with the primitive G.o.d of Asia and Europe, the Basks, Pelasgians, Atlantes, Guanches &c. The most common name was the first, in Cuba _Atabex_. This and other great G.o.ds were not sculptured in idols. The Chillians had similar names for the Supreme G.o.d.(64)
2. _Fact._ This G.o.d was father or mother of another great G.o.d dwelling in the sun with a double name, variable in the dialects.
First Name. Second Name.
By Roman Iocahuna Guamaarocon.
By Dangleria Iocauna Guamaonocon.
In Cuba Yocahuna Guamaoxocoti.
In Jamaica Yocahuna -- In Boriquen Iacana Guamanomocon.
By Oviedo Iovana Guamamona.
Variations Iocavaghama Guamochyna.
The explication of these names is not given; but they are identic with the G.o.ds of the Cantabrians, and Guanches of Canary islands.-The first appears to be the JEHOVAH and YAO of the Orientals, and is evidently the HUNAKU or Supreme G.o.d of the _Mayas_. The second name means _Lord of the World_ (_Guama-ocon_) and is a t.i.tle.(65)
3. _Event._ This last G.o.d made the World, the Heavens _Turei_, and the Earth before the terrestrial sun and moon; also the ZEMIS or angels, who are male and female lesser G.o.ds, worshipped in idols, and intercessors with the great G.o.ds. In the dialects _Zemes_, _Chemes_, _Chemis_.
All the ancestors are since called _Zemis_: their worship was spread through America, under various names, and forms: as well as in the east.
They are the
_Shemayim_ (Heavenly) of the Hebrews.
_Shemsia_ of the Pehlavis of Persia.
_Samana & Hamsa_ of the Hindus.
_Shams_ of the Arabic.
_Esmun_, _Saman_ of the old Irish.
_Eshman_ (devil) of the Carthuls of Caucasus.
_Sumari_ of Thibet, _Chuman_ of Tartary.
_Camus_, a synonym of Magi of Persia.
_Shin_ of the Chinese.
_Zamzumin_ ancient giants of Arabia.
_Chamin & Zaones_ of Egypt.
_Chama_ of the Phrygians.
_Chamina_ of the Etruscans.
_Zeones & Zanim_ of the Ammonians.
_Zamones_ (blest) of the Lybians.
_Lemes_, _Zanes_ and _Annas_ of the Pelasgians.
_Chemin_, _Shemsho_, _Naemas_ and _Zamiel_ of Aram or Syria and Phenicia.
_Chemarim_ Priests.
_Zin_, _Kami_ and _Kamona_ of j.a.pan and Yedzo.
While in America we find the _Chemim_ of the Carib women.
_Tezmin_ of the Mayas.
_Inama_ of the Apalachis.
_Manito_ of the Linapis.
_Camayos_ of the Peruvians.-Which are all identic in meaning _Angels_, _Spirits_ and their idols. This name changes elsewhere in sound: just like _Enzel_ in Teutonic, which has the import of _El_, _Aones_, and _Zemes_, is root of our _Angel_ now p.r.o.nounced _Endjel_. This oriental connection of ideas, names and worship, appears to be evident. They are not less in _Turei_ heaven, _Uran_, _Turan_ of the primitive nation &c.
_4th Event._ Some of these ZEMIS became bad beings, and devils _Tuyra_, who send diseases, hurricanes (_Furacan_), earthquakes and thunders to desolate the earth and mankind.
The names of _Tuyra_ for devil and evil has a.n.a.logies throughout the earth. The most striking are
_Out of America._
_Zitura_ of Basks.
_Guirati_ of Biscayans.
_Vetura_ in Bali of Pallis.
_Tororu_ of Nukahiva island.
_Yarua_ of the Berber Atlantes.
_Yurena_ of the Guanches Atlantes.
_Daruj_, _Puyri_ of Zend.
_Turug_ of Celts.
_Tairi_ in Turkish.
_Tahyri_ of Tahiti.
_Fara_, _Wara_ of j.a.pan.
_Tarada_ of the Papuas.
_Uritiram_ Synonym of Shiva.
_Teripis_ of Oscans.
_Tyranos_ of Greeks.
_In America._
_Yares_ of the _Tayronas_ the Cyclops or forgers of Santa Marta.
_Sura_ of Poyays.
_Tziri_ of Poconchi.
_Huraqui_, _Sura_ of Apalachi.
_Tiviri_ of the Yaquis.
_Kiuras_ of the Powhatans.
_Tarahu_, of the Tarahumaras.
_Prororu_ of c.u.mana, derived from _Pregonero_ another subsequent devil of Hayti.
By the change of R to L, we have the _Tulas_ and Atlantes of America.-_See Taraguva_ of 10th Event.
_5th Event._ The good Zemis were appointed to make the earth and men, and to rule over both. _Guabanzex_, a female Zemis, made the air and water, and became the G.o.ddess of the ocean and winds.
This will answer to the first period of the earth creation, when the water was above the land, and the _Rkio_ of Moses was divided. The name appears to mean _the windy_.(66)
_6th Event._ The male Zemis JAIA (_Khaya_, the earth) made the earth and islands; he is the _Aion_ of Sanchoniation. Every land and island is animated. The island of Hayti was a great animal like a turtle; the head and mouth was in the east, the west end of it was a long tail, called _Guaca-iarima_ (country of the Vent). The caves were the holes of the body, venerated and used afterwards as temples and tombs.
This notion, and comparison of islands with turtles, recalls to mind the primitive turtle land of the Chinese, Hindus, Linapis &c. _Jaia_ or _Kaya_ for land has affinities all over the world and is a primitive word.(67)
_7th Event._ JAIA afterwards had a son, who was called _Jaia-El_, _Higuera_, or _Hibuera_ earth-son gourd.
This first man like Adam is son of the earth, and an EL or Angel, _Elohim_ of the orientals; it means in Haytian, son, offspring, family and tribe.
It will often recur in subsequent history, in the singular for the plural.
