Telpozolli (MH873v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Telpozolli (perhaps “Worn-Out Young Man”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows an extra-curly S-shape. How this relates to the term telpozolli is unclear.

Added Analysis: 

The curling lines of colli glyphs and elements have much more in common with this sign, but the c cedilla in the gloss is clear.
