Calmimilolcatl (MH691v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Calmimilolcatl (“Person from Calmimilolco”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of an otherwise standard calli (house or building) except that the roof comes up to a point high above the entryway. This point suggests a mound or pyramid, calling forth the noun tlamimilolli.
