Yaotlacua (MH756r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Yaotlacua (perhaps, “Enemy Eater”) is attested here as a man’s name. The lower part is a war shield, which is often used as a sign for yaotl (referring to enemy combatants). The upper part, connected by a short line, is the head of what may be a ferocious animal (tecuani) such as a jaguar. This seems to be a phonetic indicator for the likely homophone, tlacuani (eater) or a semantic indicator for its root verb, tlacua (to eat).
