Tlahuilan (MH746r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlahuilan (“One Who Drags Wood”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a hand grasping a twisted horizontal rope with a frayed end on the left. The end on the right loops through a hole in a plank of wood, so that it can be dragged (referring to the verb, tlahuilana, to drag lumber).
