Tlaxich (MH732v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name, Tlaxich (perhaps "Crossbow Arrow"), is attested here as a man's name. It may represent crossbow arrow or spear point (tlaxichtli), facing downward. This point looks something more like a thorn, although it does not have the diagnostic elements of most examples of huiztli. It has two segments at the top, and a long point at the bottom, pointing downward. The crossbow arrow tip, as it appears in most examples of glyphs for the personal name, Tlaxich, in this collection, is noted for its barbs, although this example here does not have barbs. In two cases (see below) the barbs are painted red.
