Cuateconimon (MH779r)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuateconimo (perhaps “His Son-in-Law Has a Big Head”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows the head (cua-) of a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. On his head is a ceramic jug or pitcher (tecomitl).

Added Analysis:

While the final “n” of the name’s ending (-imon) does not appear in the gloss, It has been added here in the guess that -imon might be the intention, referring to a son-in-law (montli) (with the added possessor).
