Tzapin (MH496r)
This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tzapin (perhaps “He Pricked” or “He Pierced”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a man’s face and arm in profile, facing the viewer’s right. He holds a long stick or piercing instrument. If this is not a truncated verb, it may be a noun that refers to a thorn or spine.
