Omitl (BMapO103)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Omitl (“Bone”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows what may be two (ome) downward-pointing spines. These objects have a remnant of turquoise blue paint on them. Perhaps they are meant to be bones (omitl), but they do not have a standard bone shape. So, the number two (ome) may be a phonetic indicator for the name that starts with Om-.

Further consultation is required for this record, but many bone signs have a sharp point at one end.

This glyph is not glossed; the transliteration of the glyph comes from Gordon Whittaker’s contribution to the study by Mary E. Miller and Barbara E. Mundy (2012).
