Tlalatlauhco (Mdz32r)

This compound glyph for the place name Tlalatlauhco features land parcels {tlalli) that open into a ravine (atlauhtli), from which water {atl) flows. The land parcels are purple in color and textured to point to agricultural activity on the land. The upper parcel is tipped up on an angle. The water flows toward the viewer's right. It has the typical black lines of current and white turbinate shells and white water droplets (which some see as symbolic for local jade stones, chalchihuitl) splashing off the top and at the end of the stream that drops down. The locative suffix (-co) is not shown visually, but perhaps the landscape provides a semantic locative.
