Timal (MH516r)

This simplex glyph for the personal name Timal is round with a quatrefoil star inside the circle, dotted or textured, and inside that shape is another smaller circle, making it a quincunx. Around the edges of the larger circle are small radiating lines, perhaps suggesting that the round object has vibrance, or perhaps this is a visual odor (if the area represents infection). The quincunx is painted red. The gloss, coming from the noun timalli, may relate to an excretion, possibly pus, or perhaps a gentle, womanly person. If the latter, then the glyph is a phonetic indicator that looks like a sore but may be intending to elicit gentle woman.
