=== Connections with other deities ===
Several other deities evince a large eye, such as God D (Itzamna), [[Chaak]] (his brother), and various [[Maya jaguar gods|jaguar gods]]. Attribute sharing (including the ''kʼin'' infix) occurs chiefly with the so-called [[Maya jaguar gods#The Jaguar God of Terrestrial Fire and War ('Night Sun')|Jaguar God of the Underworld]] and a human-faced ocean deity with shell ears, fins beside the mouth, and a sacrificial awl set in the mouth.<ref>Hellmuth 1987: 283-286, 292-296</ref> The 'Jaguar God of the Underworld' is traditionally referred to by scholars as the 'Night Sun', i.e., the form supposedly taken by the sun during his subterranean journey from West to East. It has been suggested that the three just-mentioned deities involved in the sharing of attributes could, perhaps, represent various stages of the sun's daily cycle.<ref>e.g., Hellmuth 1987: 284</ref>
