Mollancatl (MH763v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name or ethnicity, Mollancatl (“Person from Mollanco”) is attested here as pertaining to a man. The glyph shows the lower body of a man in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right, seated with his knees up, and wearing a loincloth. This may be providing a visual for the -catl, affiliation suffix, and it makes it clear it is a male person. The round black dot on his right hip is a ball of black rubber (olli), which is a phonetic indicator (-ol-) that points to the verb mola (to grind) that gives the town (Mollan) its name, a place where things are ground.
