huilana (MH551v)
Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:
This black-line drawing for the element huilana (to drag) duplicates the record for Tamalhuilan (perhaps "He Dragged Tamales"). The desire here is to capture the verb, huilana, as it appears with the hand--which could do the pulling--and the rope or cord (probably a mecatl).
