Teonolxochitl (MH744v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Teonolxochitl (perhaps “Divine Folded Flower”) is attested here as a woman’s name. It shows a frontal view of a white, upright flower (xochitl) with five visible petals and a three-part sepal base. Below the flower is a horizontal, striped stone (tetl) with some shading and the usual curling ends. The stone serves as the phonetic start (Te- or perhaps Teo-) to the name. The stone is horizontal, perhaps thus contributing the -onol- element from onoltia, which is a reverential form of onoc, to be stretched out in a horizontal position.
