Aoc Tlacuani (Verg6r)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Aoc Tlacuani (“He Is No Longer a Glutton,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a spray of four little streams of water (atl) with their usual black lines of current and alternating droplets and turbinate shells at the ends of each stream. Above the water, on the viewer's right-hand side, is a cup of pulque (octli) with bubbles at the top. To the left of this cup is a mouth with prominent front teeth and a large piece food coming out of its mouth. This points to the noun tlacuani, one who eats too much or a glutton.

Added Analysis: 

The entire pronoun for "No Longer" (Aoc) is represented with two phonetic indicators. The other element is a logogram for glutton (tlacuani).
