Tlachichin (MH773v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlachichin (perhaps “Smoking Tube” or “Cigar”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a profile view of a horizontal smoking tube, perhaps a cigar (here called a tlachichintli) coming out of the mouth of the tribute payer himself. It is nearly half white (the part touching his mouth) and half black (the latter farther from his mouth). There is no added smoke to push the decipherment toward the verb tlachichina (which could be truncated here).
