Tizocicatl (FCbk8f2r)

This colorfully painted compound glyph represents the personal name, Tizocicatl (perhaps one who makes sacrificial penitence), the name of a ruler of Tenochtitlan. Part of the glyph is a white hill covered with black dots. These dots represent chalk (tizatl), providing the start to the name, Tiz-. The yellow, sharp-pointed item behind the white hill may be a bone for sewing (zozo), almost making the chalk look like a piece of fabric (zotl) that is being sewn with the needle. Thus, one or both of these elements provide the -zo- in the middle of the name. If the name originally included the -cica (or -tzica) ending, which sometimes got shortened to -cic, then perhaps that part is also represented by the sewing, which can result in things being fastened together (tzicatica). Below the white hill is a multi-colored ornament, perhaps an earring that was associated with the ruler. It is red, turquoise, blue, purple, and yellow.
