Tecpa (MH835r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tecpa (“Flint Knife”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a vertical tecpatl (flint knife) that is painted red, especially the top half above the diagonal line. Below the diagonal line is what may be an eye, something like the starry eye (ixtli), which is a near homophone to itztli (obsidian blade). The flint knife has a small rectangular base at the bottom.
