Cozauh (MH631v)

Cozauh (MH631v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cozauh (perhaps "He Has Turned Yellow," attested here as a man's name) shows a circle with two swirls coming off the top, one on each side, and both curling inward.

Added Analysis: 

If the circle is a coin, it could stand for gold (like yellow). What the appendages might be is not clear. If the baby was jaundiced, perhaps that is the origin of the name.
