Xocotex (MH674r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Xocotex (“Yeast”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of an upright ceramic container with a neck, two loops for attaching a handle, and a handle itself, which has a woven look. Small round objects (perhaps pieces of xocotextli, yeast) appear at the top of the ceramic container. The ceramic container may be a comitl, which provides a phonetic complement to the -co- in the middle of the name, possibly helping to identify the small items at the top of the jug.
