Cuazaolcalzol (MH648r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Cuazaol Calzolli (perhaps “Biting Bee, Old House,” attested here as a man’s name) shows a European-influenced drawing of a hill or mountain (with shading for contours) with what appears to be a wooden door (again, showing European influence in architectural evolution). On top of the mountain is a bee, shown in profile facing toward the viewer’s right.

The translation of this glyph deserves further research. The old house (calzolli) that may appear in this glyph in the form of a door in front of the hill, may be the location where Pedro Cuazaol lives or works. Or, it could be part of his name. Typically, in this manuscript what follows after a person’s Nahua name is an occupation. The "-calzol" in the gloss here, however, seems to be attached to the Cuazaol-.
