Cuecuex (MH772v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cuecuex is attested here as a man's name. It requires further analysis. The nose ornament suggests that this is a person from the Huaxteca, a cuextecatl. But the reduplication of the cuex- suggests a different meaning that is not shown visually, and that is cuecuextli, a cord with stone beads. Perhaps the cuextecatl is there as a phonetic indicator for Cuecuex.
