Cihuaitzincocol (Verg14r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cihuaitzincocol (attested here as a man’s name) shows the head of a woman (cihuatl) in profile, facing left. Her visible eye is open, and her hair is twisted up with one point on either side of her forehead. Below her is the lower portion of a man's seated body, emphasizing the rear end, bottom, or buttocks (tzintli). Below that is a chile pepper, possibly a phonetic indicator for cococ (something that burns the mouth), which is close to the name's ending -cocol. A phonetic support for this reading is the final element, at the base. It is a ceramic pot (comitl), which pushes the reading of the chilli toward -cocol. The possessive pronoun (-i-) that appears in the gloss is not shown visually.
