Tlapayauh (MH593r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlapayauh (“It Has Rained Lightly for a Long Time,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a frontal view of the glyph for rain (quiyahuitl), which is a triangle with the point down, lines of current to show movement in the water, and a droplet or bead at the end. This sign is surrounded by even smaller circles, seemingly suggesting the concept of a light rain (and tlapayahui is the relevant verb), compared to quiyauhuitl (rain, or heavy rain).
