Tlacochcalcatl (MH833r)

This is a black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name or title Tlacochcalcatl, which at the highest levels referred to men with governing, judicial, or military responsibilities. It was also a pueblo-level official's title and a name. Finally, with the -catl suffix for affiliation, it can refer to someone from Tlacochcalco (in the region of Tlaxcala). There is also a Tlacochcallan in the area of Huejotzingo. The glyph shows a frontal view of a building, perhaps a house (calli). Its entry was has some short, black horizontal and vertical lines that suggest a special kind of calli. Perhaps these are meant to be a certain kind of projectile (tlacochtli), sometimes much like the mitl arrow and sometimes with a notably barbed point.
