Tlecuilhuacan (MH623v)
This is a black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the place name Tlecuilhuacan (perhaps "Where They Have Fireplaces"). The glyph shows a house (calli) in a frontal view. The house serves as a semantic locative. In the square in front of the building, there is a fire burning in a pit (tlecuilitl) or fireplace (tlecuilli). The flames are rising up from a site that has rectangular (stone?) framing at its base.
