Cocoliloc (MH882r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cocoliloc (perhaps “He Was Hated”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. He has his right arm raised and his hand held upward at an angle. Three streams of tears fall down his visible cheek. His hair is spiky out the back of his head. The man is clearly unhappy, perhaps because as the gloss may suggest, “he was hated.”

Other examples of the glyph Cocoliloc show men with their hair being pulled or with someone hitting them on the head with a stick. Another man lies down and someone seems to be hitting him with a macuahuitl (obsidian-studded blade). In addition, some glyphs for cocoliloc show perhaps a cane with a curling handle or perhaps a worm, but how those relate remains unclear.
