Tlatecahua (MH737r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tlaltecahua (“He Leaves Land to Someone”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows a rectangle of land (tlalli) that is divided along a diagonal. The lower-left half is black, and the upper-right half is dotted, suggesting that it has been seeded. Above the agricultural field is a person reclining and facing upward, with his eyes closed and hands as though in prayer (in a Western manner, perhaps). He may be dead, which would explain the use of the verb cahua (to leave something).
