Telpozolli (MH875r)

Telpozolli (MH875r)
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 the head of a man with somewhat long hair. If the two elements in the name or term are taking literally, perhaps it is a situation where a young man or young warrior (telpochtli) is worn out or in bad shape (-zolli).
