Tlatolpeuh (MH772v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tlatolpeuh (perhaps "Commenced Words") is attested here as a man's name. Three speech scrolls (volutes that curl under at their ends) emerge from the face of the tribute payer (not an additional human head), which is shown in profile, looking toward the viewer's right. The speech scrolls represent the noun tlatolli, word. The -peuh part to the name (from pehua, to begin or commence) is not shown visually.

Added Analysis:

Quite a few abbreviations of the name Francisco in this collection end in "a" when it is clear from the context image and the first names that these are men.
