Tlacocohua (MH668r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlacocohua (“One Who Purchases Many Things”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a large set of teeth (tlantli), which seems to be a phonetic indicator that the name starts with Tla-. To the right of the teeth, and kind of bracketed by them, is the head of a man in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. This is not the tribute payer himself, but another man. This must be the person who purchases many things (tlacocohua), although there are no visual indications that relate to purchasing.
