Coachayahual (MH896v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Coachayahualli (perhaps “Serpent Gate”) is attested here as a woman’s name. The glyph shows a snake or serpent (coatl) in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. It has a rattler, a body with small spots, a protruding bifurcated tongue, and, on its back, four short pieces of planking (perhaps intending to recall a cuauhchayahualli, a wooden gate or fence).
