Cuicanenel (MH532r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cuicanenel (perhaps “He Mixes Songs,” attested here as a man’s name) shows the tribute payer with speech or song (cuica) scrolls emerging from his mouth. The glyph includes scrolls and two wavy lines, perhaps intending a mixture of songs. The gloss suggests some kind of mixture (tlanenel).
