Cemolotl (MH651v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cemolotl (Dried Ear of Maize) is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows an upright or vertical corncob with inverted scalloped lines and, within each curved area a dot. This differs from the cintli or centli in the added dots, which may therefore intend to point to olotl (a dried ear of maize where the kernels have been removed) and serve as a phonetic complement.
