Tlachinol (MH668r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlachinol (“Burning Fields”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a horizontal line from which curls of smoke appear. To the right of the volutes referring to smoke is a plant that looks something like zacatl. The result is a scene of field burning (tlachinolli).

This could be short for "Atl Tlachinolli," "Flood and Conflagration," a metaphor for war or other types of apocalypse. Tlachinol was a popular personal name in 1560. See other examples below. At least three of these clearly show water as part of the equation.
