Techachanonoc (MH567r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Techanonoc (perhaps, “He Resides in the People's Home,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a profile view of a generic person, facing right, sitting with a posture of a man, and raising his right arm somewhat. His visible eye is open. There is nothing visual here to speak to his having a home.
