Olin (MH560v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Olin (“Movement,” attested here as a man’s name) shows an upright, undulating line. It is reminiscent of a snake or a worm. The undulation suggests movement, which is the meaning of the gloss.

Added Analysis: 

This representation of the glyph for movement is very different from the norm, which usually involves a quincunx or a quadripartite sign. See examples below.
