Chantli (MH833r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Chantli ("Home") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a building. The fact that this building is occupied by a person--whose face is shown inside the entrance, in profile, looking toward the viewer's left--may suggest that this is a home (chantli) rather than just a house (calli).

Added Analysis: 

It is fairly rare to see the word chantli with its absolutive ending (-tli). But this is at least the second one located so far in the Matrícula de Huexotzinco (see below for another one). Chan- will often be possessed or found in compounds.
