[Aztlan] Popol Vuh "Framer, Shaper"

[ecoling at aol.com]

Regarding the terms for the "Framer, Shaper"
(as given in Allen Christenson's edition of the Popol Vuh and similarly elsewhere)

Beowulf, according to one editor at least the earliest great composition
in English and even in any Germanic Language, from a time when 
Christianity had just barey been adopted, refers to God multiple times,
but also to the following (one at a time, not bunched)

Maker,
Shaper,
Measurer
Wielder
as terms for God or for the ultimate mind.

What an interesting parallel (and I think it may grow even a bit closer as
we refine translations of the Popol Vuh).? 
Incidentally, "skapa-" in Swedish means perhaps as much
"to create" as "to shape", but really both.

Best wishes
Lloyd Anderson
