Aquiyahuac (MH634v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name, Aquiyahuac (perha[ps Outside-Water), is attested here as a man's name. The elements include a simplified entrance (quiyahuac) to a building in profile, and swirling (moving) water (atl) placed in that entryway, presumably just outside. The gloss perhaps inadvertently leaves off the final "c" of quiyahuac.
