Ohua (MH503v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Ohua refers to a green plant stalk or cane (ohuatl). The visual is a nearly horizontal, frontal or bird's eye view, of a cane that looks something like bamboo, given the segmentation. There are also two angular lines on the cane.
