Roman calls it female, Dangleria a male God. The titles of this god are sufficient to indicate the supreme God of nature, and they have astonishing analogies with the primitive God of Asia and Europe, the Basks, Pelasgians, Atlantes, Guanches &c. The most common name was the first, in Cuba Atabex. This and other great Gods were not sculptured in idols. The Chillians had similar names for the Supreme God.[64]
2. Fact. This God was father or mother of another great God 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 gods 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 God of the Mayas. The second name means Lord of the World (Guama-ocon) and is a title.[65]
3. Event. This last God 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 gods, worshipped in idols, and intercessors with the great gods. 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
