Tlaltzipi (MH812r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlaltzipi (perhaps “Small Piece of Land in a Bad State”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows the head of a man in profile, facing the viewer’s right. Perhaps this is meant to be a child. Below the head is a rectangle that is divided in half diagonally. The upper right part is black, and the lower left part is white. The size and condition of the land is not obvious, and if this is a boy rather than a man, that is similarly oblique. So, perhaps the translation is incorrect when speaking of land.

This name may be Tlaltzipin, given the overbar at the end of the gloss. The visual expression for land here is not unusual for the Matrícula de Huexotzinco, but it is very different from the earlier, central Mexican Codex Mendoza, which is less square, divided differently, and is textured with U-shapes and dots.
