Tlanehui (MH779v)

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlanehui (perhaps “He Borrows Things”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows what appears to be two vertical cobs of corn or maize. But these objects could be something else that could more easily be “borrowed.”

Added Analysis: 

See below for other borrowed objects, such as a necklace and a skirt. Note how this entry in the census has a piece of paper cutout that has been glued over the original glyph, showing one of many editing techniques.
