Tlaltecatl (FCbk8f7r)

This colorful compound glyph for the personal name Tlaltecatl (perhaps “Person of the Land” or "One from Tlallan") is attested here as a man's name. The name is actually given in the text in the reverential form, Tlaltecatzin, and he was a ruler of Tetzcoco. The compound shows a square parcel of land (tlalli) with four subdivisions in a checkerboard pattern. Two of the subdivisions are brown (presumably dirt) and two are white with backward C-shapes. These variations seem to have to do with agricultural usage. Above the land are what appear to be two raindrops–turquoise-blue droplets with a white triangle above each one, suggestive of a stream or a falling movement. This water (-atl) provides the phonetic ending to the name.
