Tlacanenel (MH779v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlacanenel (perhaps “Mixed Group of People”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows two men’s heads, slightly overlapping. Both are shown in a profile view, looking right. The one in the back has lighter hair. The two heads may have been drawing by different tlacuilos. Perhaps the back one was added for having been omitted originally.

Added Analysis:

This collection contains other similar glyphs, including one for the reverential name Tlacaneneltzin (see below), who may have been a known personage. A Tlacaneneltzin was associated with a place called Tlatocan and shown in a pictorial manuscript from Calpan [see the upper right corner of the first image on this page: https://tlachia.iib.unam.mx/calpan/073_01 -- this is part of a manuscript called "Confirmación de Elecciones en Calpan (BNF_073)," published by TLACHIA].
