ehuatl (MH613v)
This is the black-line drawing of a glyphic element for the noun ehuatl (a hide) that was extracted from a compound glyph for the personal name Tlatolehuatl. It played a phonetic role in that compound, but here we are counting it as a logogram. It is a bird's eye view of a hide that has been laid out. The starts of legs are still visible, along with the head or neck, and the tail. The coat is textured.
