Chamol (MH630v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Chamol ("Feather of the Scarlet Parrot") is attested here as a man's name. It shows two rows of feathers, five on the top layer and four on the bottom. In the upper-left corner of the array of feathers (apparently from the chamolli, or scarlet parrot) is what appears to be a swirl of water with fifteen or more straight gray lines spurting off of the swirling water, something like the glyph for Atonal. The -a- from water (atl) could be a hint that these are chamol feathers rather than another kind of feathers, serving as a phonetic complement.
