Cazmal (MH564r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cazmal (attested here as a man’s name) has yet to be translated. It shows a vertical stack of two diamond shapes, each one with a vertical line dividing it in half. One can imagine it as something that might spin in the wind.

Other glyphs with diamond shapes include the name glyphs for Xiuhnel, which are (apparently) turquoise pieces that were used in mosaics.
