Chipo (MH883r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Chipo (“Tick”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a nude man (perhaps indicating his vulnerability), in profile, facing right. His arms are raised, his back is arched, and his stomach is protruding. His visible eye seems to be closed (usually a sign of death). He has no hands or feet. Perhaps he has been bitten by a chipo (tick) and gotten very sick.

The gloss says xipō, but the assumption here is that it intends chipo (or chipotli, referring to a tick). On MH882v is a very similar glyph with the gloss xinxinpō, but that must also refer to a reduplicated chipo or chipoh (with the glottal stop). Anyone with better information is encouraged to share it.
