Coayaotehua (MH492v)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Coayaotehua (“Serpent-Combatant Arises,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a man's head in profile, looking toward the right. This person may be the combatant or enemy (yaotl) referenced in the middle of the name, unless it provides the "te" element. Wrapped around what would be the man's neck is a spotted serpent (coatl). The serpent's bifurcated tongue protrudes. Perhaps the serpent has killed the warrior. The -tehua auxiliary verb is not shown visually, but it can refer to a rising or an action taken upon dying.
