Teixconemi (MH615v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Teixconemi (perhaps "He Gets in Your Face" or "Rude") is attested here as a man's name. It shows a human eye (ixtli) looking to the viewer's right. A hand below the eye and somewhat to the left has an index finger that points directly to the eye. The eye provides a phonetic indicator for the -ix- in the middle of this name.

Added Analysis:

This name could suggest haughty behavior. The expression tēīxco tēicpac ninemi, to be rude and disrespectful, literally describes someone going about in front of and above other people.
