Xihuallauhtepec (CQ)
This simplex glyph for the place name Xihuallauhtepec ("Come This Way On the Hill"?) is primarily a vague glyph for hill or mountain (tepetl), shown in a frontal view. A saguaro cactus grows on the hill, but this does not seem to enter into the place name other than as a semantic indicator of the nature of the landscape.
Stephanie Wood
After the -tepec locative, the remainder of the place name (not obviously depicted) consists of the verb command, "Come this way" (xihuallauh). The gloss leaves off the -uh ending, so this interpretation is speculative.
