Acapixahua (MH629v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Acapixahua is attested here as a man's name. The glyph shows a frontal view of an array of four segmented reeds (acatl), some of them tipping to the viewer's left. Perhaps the spread of the reeds is meant to hint at the verb pixahui, to sprinkle.
