Cocoliloc (MH660v)

Cocoliloc (MH660v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cocoliloc (“He Was Hated”) shows a curving cane (colli), perhaps meant to serve as a phonetic indicator for cocolia (to hate someone).

Added Analysis:

Both the name Cocol and Cocoliloc can be represented either by a curving cane or hair pulling. One variant on the Cocol glyph is just a curving line, something like a string, but not terribly different from the curving cane. This example of the use of the curvy cane for Cocoliloc (“Hated”) helps secure the “Quarrelsome” reading for Cocol.
