Hacavitz
Maya · deity · mythic · Recorded classification
Hacavitz is the one that makes the pattern explicit, because he is unambiguously also a place. The K'iche' did not distinguish sharply between the god you carry, the mountain you settle on and the building you put him in; the same word does all three, and the lineage is what it is because of which word it carries.
