Cuauhchita (MH736r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cuauhchita (perhaps “Eagle Net Bag” or “Wooden Net Bag”) is attested here as as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a horizontal net back that is rounded on the ends. The frame of this bag, which also incorporates a rising handle, could be made of wood, which would contribute to the name and explain the eagle, since cuauh- is the same stem for both wood and eagle. Otherwise, the contribution of the eagle to the bag is unclear, although net bags called chitatli were known for using during hunting.
