Motenehua (MH613v)

Motenehua (MH613v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Motenehua (perhaps "Mentioned") is attested here as a man's name. The gloss is meant to be a number of speech scrolls or volutes that indicate the verb motenehua, to express or mention. However, in the mix seems to be a butterfly (papalotl) or other insect that was probably a mistake.
