Tozpanoc (MH736v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name (“Parrot Crossed Over”) is attested here as a man’s name. It shows a feather on an angle, presumably from the toztli (parrot). The feather is crossing over (from the verb, pano) some water (atl). The water here flows horizontally between two black lines. In the middle, the water apparently swirls, although the feather covers up most of the swirl.
