Macuilli Calli (Mdz2r)

This combined simplex glyph for house (calli) with the added notation of five ones (macuilli) results in the solar year (xihuitl) date, Five House {Macuilli Calli). The five small circles representing the ones are in a horizontal row centered across the top of the date compound. The house is the usual, rectangular shape with right angles, and it is shown in profile, facing to the viewer's right. The entire date is enclosed in a black-line box, which is indicative that it is a date, and its contents are painted over with turquoise blue. The word xihuitl stands for both turquoise and year. These are honophones, and the turquoise paint might be interpreted to be a phonetic indicator for the word "year."
