this compound glyph for the personal name or title Tecpanecatl shows a vertical, red-and-white tecpatl (flint knife), which would be a phonetic indicators for Tecpan-. A horizontal shape appears below the flint knife. It probably contributes to the remainder of the name, but it has yet to be identified.
