Chichipe (MH732r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name, Chichipe (perhaps, " Dog"), is attested here as a man's name. It shows the head of a dog in profile, facing toward the viewer's right. Its ears are up, its visible eye is open, a fang protrudes, as does a long, curling tongue.

This name appears in the census right above a person named Itzcuin, and itzcuintli is another term for dog. Interestingly, the glyphs are the same. The -pe is not shown visually. Perhaps chichipe has something to do with the root of chichipeliuhqui, someone with sores. Suggestions are welcomed.
