Tozquihua (MH634r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tozquihua ("One With a Beautiful Voice") is attested here as a man's name. The two elements are a bird (apparently the toztli), and a feather, likely also from this same bird, as an added semantic indicator, perhaps because this bird was not only prized for its song but also for its feathers.
