Coneton (MH650v)

Coneton (MH650v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Coneton ("Little Child") is attested here as a man's name. It appears to be three beans (etl), which could be a phonetic indicator for the "e" in the middle of the word. Or perhaps little children were often compared to beans, small and round?
