The Maya language of Yucatan has only five basic color terms (?e&k' 'black', cak 'red, pink, orange, rust colored', k'dan 'yellow, orange', sak 'white', and ydTas 'green'), but they appear in seventy-five compound stems that discriminate semantically among variables other than hue, including bright- ness, saturation, relative size and discreteness, opacity, and texture. A number of these stems are concerned with texture, as are many of the affect stems in this language, suggesting a semantic relationship between them. The same relationship between color compounds and affects is documented for Tzotzil, another Mayan language, for which there are almost one thousand color compounds
