Cococ (MH498v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cococ (here, attested as a man's name) shows two upright peppers, which are a food that burns the mouth and invoke the verb for this, cococ. The pepper on the right is caught in the book's binding. Both peppers have something of a wavy or curving shape. They also have bases with stems.

Chile peppers are found in other glyphs standing upright. In some cases they are also horizontal.
