Tlanenel (MH602r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlanenel (perhaps "Mixed Things" or "Stirred") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows a cup with a hand stirring something in the cup by using perhaps a wooden utensil.

Added Analysis: 

The vessel in this glyph is something like the xicalli (jícara in Mexican Spanish) in other glyphs. Terms that include -nenel- can be stirred (as here) or mixed, as in a mixed group of people (as shown in some glyphs below).
