Para decir; el estandarte de la guerras. La bandera de la miliaria. rulacamil cha, rulacamil laual y rulacamil hucum. velar de navío. ah lacam. alférez.

From section 19th of FAMSI report #97022 (in Spanish):

Lacam: bandera. estandarte. pendón. es tambien apellido. lacam.

Both links above say that "Lakam" is also used as a surname, and the former mentions a flag-related military rank, ah lacam, which is translated as alférez.
