Aoc Tlacuani (Verg13v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Aoc Tlacuani (“No Longer a Glutton,” attested here as a man’s name) shows an open mouth--human or animal--with the nose curling upward and prominent teeth biting on what looks like food, perhaps a tortilla. This seems to stand for that part of the gloss that says tlacuani (glutton). A stream of water (atl) with four droplets, beads, and perhaps shells coming off of it provides the phonetic for the negative "A-," and the cup of pulque (octli) finishes off the phonetic element for Aoc, "no longer." The cup of pulque is tall with a narrow waist that has a slight embellishment; apparently it is a baluster stem, which suggests European influence. The foam at the top, however, is an Indigenous Nahua diagnostic.
