Ajaw

Ajaw or Ahau (pronounced IPA-esp [aχa:f] or [axaːu]and written "ajaaw") ('Lord') has two 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.
