Antleyocan (MH895r)

Antleyocan (MH895r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the possible personal name Antleyocan (perhaps “Full of Nothing” or “Empty”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows just a frontal view of a bag or sack (perhaps intending xiquipilli). The left side has hatch marks that give it a three-dimensionality. It is difficult to determine if this bag is empty, which could be suggested by antlein (none), if that is the correct interpretation.

Added Analysis:

To have an empty xiquipilli is to be without money or other precious things, such as cacao beans or silk seeds, perhaps a reference to poverty. The orthography used in the gloss puts the interpretation in question. Also, the -yocan suffix refers to a place full of something, which might not fit with a personal name.
