Totococ (MH780r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Totococ ("Sent into Exile"), shows a bird's eye view of three footprints that are nearly horizontal, but going down slightly. The footprints are semantic, indicating a departure, but they could also provide a phonetic "o" (from otli, road).

Added Analysis: 

See below for three other examples of this name. They all feature footprints, but one also shows a man’s head at the front of the footsteps.
