I get a sense that the phrase "In lakech" is a new entry into the world 
of Yucatec Maya greetings, as today's (or is it now yesterday's?) "Wazz 
up?" is into vernacular American greetings.
.....Of course with a more cosmic connotation.

I suppose it is a phrase that connotes membership in a group that shares 
meaning, (such as "May the force be with you" or "Live long and prosper" 
to star war fans or trekkies respectively)
and it also poses a weight of  a semaphore that changes with each use.

Anyway, like the concept of Ahhuiliztli (happiness in Nahuatl) taking on 
the meaning of "friend" in modern Central Mexican Azteca dance circles, 
In Lakech, has positive energy for its users.....

....not bad, no?

I live for reasoned, enlightened spirituality:

"Tlacecelilli", tranquilidad, paz
