Tlacatecpanecatl (MH762r)

Tlacatecpanecatl (MH762r)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name or title Tlacatecpanecatl is attested here as a man's name. It shows the head of a man (tlacatl, person or lord) in profile, facing toward the viewer's left. Surrounding this head is a horizontal stone (tetl), which provides the phonetic indication that the syllable -te- follows the start to the title, Tlaca-. The stone has its usual curling ends and diagonal stripe(s) across the middle.

Added Analysis:

This rendition of Tlacatecpanecatl is very different from that found on folio 688 verso of this same manuscript. See also Zayucan (MH690v) for what appears to be another glyph for Tlacatecpanecatl, even though it is glossed as something else.
