Tlalolin (MH744v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlalolin (“The Earth Quaked” or shook) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows a horizontal, rectangular piece of land (tlalli) divided on a diagonal. The lower left part is dotted, as though planted in seeds. The upper right part is left white. In the middle, in front of the land, is the symbol for movement (olin). In the middle of this symbol, and phonetically reinforcing it, is a black rubber (olli) ball, a near homophone.
