Xoctepi (MH622r)
This compound glyph for the personal name Xoctepi (or Xoctepih), attested here as male, shows a small ceramic jug (xoctli). We are considering the small size (tepiton) as coming into play as a visual diminutive and contributing to the compound hieroglyph.

Across multiple manuscripts, a much more common word for a ceramic jug is comitl.
