Cozauh (MH625v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This simplex glyph for the personal name Cozauh (perhaps "He Turned Yellow," attested here as male) shows a simple circle. Perhaps it is a coin, and if so, probably a yellow coin (gold). Cozahui means to turn yellow, perhaps meaning to become jaundiced, if this name was given to a baby at birth.
