Nezahualcoyotl (MH721v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Nezahualcoyotl (“Ritual Fasting-Coyote”) is attested here as a man’s name. It is a famous name from Tetzcoco. Here, the glyph shows two (what seem to be) blood-letting implements (perhaps pointed spines with stripes), and, to the right of that, the head of a coyote in profile, facing toward the viewer’s right. These types of spines are usually called huitztli.
