Pocxiuh (MH714r)
This colorful compound glyph for the personal name, Pocxiuh (“Smoky Herbs” or “Green Smoke”), is attested here as a woman’s name. It shows a mass of volutes emanating from the mouth of the woman in question. They are green, blue, and black. They go out horizontally, but they curl under at the ends.

The name could actually be “Green Smoke,” or it could refer to a smoky green herb. If the latter, then the elements of this compound are fully phonographic. See the other glyph for Pocxiuh in this collection (below), which seems to refer to herbs.
