Xochitleuh (MH671v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Xochitleuh (perhaps “Flower’s Fire”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of a vertical flower (xochitl) with a minimum of three petals at the top. Two anthers also emerge from the top of the flower. Below the flower are flames of a fire (tletl) that might be in a hearth, given what appear to be three stones.

See other examples of glyphs of the name Xochitleuh below. All show one flower and a suggestion of fire and/or smoke.
