Ce Imol (MH520r)
This black-line drawing combines a simplex glyph and a notation for the personal name Ce Imol (here, attested as a man's name). It shows a rectangular, vertical bar suggesting the number one (ce) coming out of a sauce bowl (molcaxitl). Three tiny feet from the bowl legs are visible at the bottom of the bowl. The bar has some unidentified markings on it down near the bowl. The third-person singular possessive pronoun (i-) is not shown visually.

This is a personal name, preceded in the gloss by a Christian first name (Toribio). He may have been named after Toribio de Benavente, also known as Motolinia ("One Who is Poor or Afflicted"). This was the first word he learned in Nahuatl, and he went on to learn the language well. He lived in the monastery in Huejotzingo. Doing a quick search for the name "Toribio" will produce an impressive result.
