Atle Itilma (MH776v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Atle Itilma ("He Has No Cape") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows an unclothed (perhaps meaning vulnerable) man sitting in a profile view, facing toward the viewer's right. His visible arm is reaching forward, resting on a knee. The scene suggests a sad situation. The seated position may suggest a lord or a noble, as they often sat with their knees up under their chins. The lack of a cape may suggest an elite man who has fallen on hard times. The tilmatli was typically worn by nobles.
