Aquenmachoc (MH677v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Aquenmachoc (perhaps “Unnoticed” or “Unknown”) is attested here as a man’s name. The translation may require further work. The glyph shows an open book lying flat on top of what may be another book with just the binding toward the viewer. The books may have a semantic meaning relating to knowing and education (even if, here, in a negative sense). The binding of the lower book has a profile view of a face looking toward the viewer’s right. Perhaps this person is the one not (aquen) being noticed (involving the verb mati, to know, in a passive preterit form). Moving left from the face are what appear to be alphabetic letters, possibly making up one illegible word.
