Tomiyauh (MH619r)
This black-line drawing of the of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tomiyauh ("Our Maize Tassel") doubles as the element miyauhtli (see link below). This maize tassel or flower leans toward the viewer's right and consists of at least eight segments. The possessive pronoun, To-, is not expressed visually. This was the name of a sacred force, "Our Maize Tassel Lord," which was related to the Tlaloque, divine forces of rain.
