Toltzincuic (Verg8r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Toltzincuic (attested here as a man’s name) has yet to be fully translated. The elements consist of a tule plant (tolin) with visible roots, some upright leaves, and what appears to be a cattail. Above the plant is half of a human body, a male, facing right, holding a seated position to emphasize his rear end or buttocks (tzintli). The third element migh have something to do with the verb to sing, cuica, or perhaps with the word for song, cuicatl. Another idea is that this piece somehow relates to the ver cui, to take. In the end, further consideration is required to decipher this third part.
