Callaneuh (MH829r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Callaneuh (perhaps “A House Renter”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a house (calli) in profile, with the opening facing to the right. It has the standard rectangular shapes of a calli. On the left, grasping the house, is a right hand This hand seems to suggest the verb tlanehuia, to rent something.

Added Analysis:

In some glyphs, the grasping hand stands for the syllable “hua,” a phonetic syllable deriving from “hua,” the possessive.
