Atlix (MH733r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name, Atlix (perhaps “Water-Eye”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows swirling water with four little splashes angling off. This surrounds a starry eye (ixtli), Two streams of water (atl) also come down from the eye. The water streams get narrower as they descend, and there is a small round circle, probably a droplet but looking like a bead, at the end of each stream. A single line of current or flow runs down the middle of each stream, in the middle of each little splash, and around the eye.
