Tohueyo (MH901r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tohueyo (“Outsider” or “Foreigner”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows the head of a man in profile, looking toward the viewer’s right. He wears a headdress with two upright, wavy feathers and a band that goes around his head at the level of his forehead. He also wears a nose plug and an ear plug. His identification as an outside or foreigner (tohueyo) derives from these attributes. Interestingly, the gloss doubles the tohueyo, perhaps to say that the tribute payer’s name is Tohueyo and he is indeed an outsider.
