Ciahuiz (MH794v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ciahuiz (“Fatigue”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a part of a leg with a foot attached. Two unidentified elements (bandages and bandaging?) appear at the ankle and behind the heel. How these items contribute to convey weariness or fatigue is unclear. Potentially, they contribute phonetic dimensions and, if so, this could be a compound hieroglyph.

Added Analysis:

The presence of the foot may suggest that the person is fatigued from running.
