Poctli (MH499v)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Poctli (here, attested as a man’s name) shows three curls of smoke (poctli). They are all vertical, with the curls facing toward the viewer's left. They have no coloring.

These scrolls or volutes are much like speech scrolls. Their movement upwards, however, is more like smoke.
