Ixtlamati (MH624r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ixtlamati ("A Wise Person") is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph is a human eye (ixtli) drawn in a way fairly close to the pre-contact starry-eye style. It is a phonetic indicator that the name starts with Ix-, but it also ties in to the kind of knowledge the wise person has--gained from experiencing things with his own eyes.
