Yaopazol (MH888v)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Yaopazol is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows what may be a war shield, which usually suggests the name Yaotl (combatant). This is not a typical war shield, however. It appears to be three shields together–one on the left, one on the right, and perhaps one behind. Coming out of the top of this possible group of shields are short lines that likely refer to the briar patch (pazolli) that is part of the name. The briar patch seems to be a phonetic indicator for pazoloa, to entangle, given that the shields may be tangled up in the image. But further research would be helpful.
