Cemoquich (MH638r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cemoquich (perhaps “An Only Man” or "A Lone Man") is attested here as a man’s name. It shows the small head of a man (oquichtli) in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. His eye and mouth are open. In front of his face is an egg-shaped oval with hatching or a mesh design. The oval is as large or larger than the man's head. The oval may be intended as a numerical notation for one (ce) or it may be meant to indicate an ear of corn (centli, also spelled as cintli), providing the phonetic element for the start of the name (Cem-). Given that the man's mouth is open, about to bite the object in front of him, the reading of cintli/centli is most convincing.
