Cocoliloc (MH519v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name for a man, Cocoliloc ("He Was Hated"), shows the head of a man in profile, looking to the viewer's right. Behind and next to his head is an upright piece of wood with small stumps from where branches were removed. The implication seems to be that he had been struck with a piece of wood in a quarrel (cocolli).

Added Analysis:

The name is the passive tense of the verb cocolia, to hate someone. Other similar names are Cocol ("Quarrel") and Cocoliloni. The visual for colli (something curved or bent) seems to provide a phonetic indicator for the name Cocol some of the time. Other examples show a man having his hair pulled, suggesting a quarrel. See below.
