Hueipolco (T1735:2:109)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This is a dark green painting of the compound glyph for the place name, Hueipolco. The start to the name suggests something big (huei) and hueipol, and the mountain or hill appears as extra wide. The ceramic pot (comitl) at the top of the hill provides the phonetic indication for the locative suffix (-co). Four speech scrolls, two on each side of the hill (the semantic locative), bring to mind the -pol- part of the place name. (See the various words in our dictionary field relating to speech that contain -pol-.)
