Nenelihuitl (MH680r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Nenelihuitl (perhaps “Something Mixed”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a nenetl doll or female deity figurine in a frontal view. It has bare breasts (or bent arms?) and a skirt on. Perhaps this is meant to serve as a near homophone and therefore a phonetic indicator for Nenel- (perhaps meaning mixed), the start to the name. To the left and right of the figurine are volutes, two on each side, facing different ways, representing the verb ilhuia (to speak, often represented by speech scrolls), providing a near homophone and phonetic indicator for the final part of the name. This name seems to draw from the verb nenelihui, transformed into a noun.
