Tozquihua (MH498v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tozquihua (perhaps "He Can Sing") is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows a horizontal feather, probably a yellow parrot (toztli) feather, providing a phonetic indication that the name starts with Toz-. The vane is half white (on the upper half), and the lower half has some lines that may suggest lines of the vane. From the left end of the feather a wavy stream of water (atl) drops down, with one line of current in the middle and a droplet at the end. The water may be a phonetic indicator for the "a" in -hua (the suffix referring to possession). Above the top of the water are five short vertical lines, which could also provide a phonetic indication for the -hua.
