Like a Hurricane

We`ve just found out that the derivation of the word hurricane is Mayan. The original is Juraqan which was the Mayan one-legged god of rain, fire, storms and thunder. He was one of the three creator gods of Mayan myth.

It`s great to find at least one Mayan word that has made it into the English language. So, we`re wondering if any more have, even if via spanish, and will look into maiza, cacao and chocolate.
