Mizquipolcatl (MH741v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Mizquipolcatl (“Person from Mizquipolco”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph has an X-shape cross, and in the spaces the X creates are small circles filled in with black paint or ink. This forms a quincunx, but the meaning and beyond that, and how it relates to the mesquite tree is unclear. The second part of the name -pol- is seemingly a negative affix, perhaps meaning wretched. That, the mesquite, and the -catl (affiliation suffix), might not be shown visually.
