Tempol (MH770r)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tempol is attested here as a man's name. It shows half a human face, drawing attention to the lip (tentli). Below the lower lip and protruding from it is an ornament (perhaps a tentetl or a tezacatl) that is a turquoise-blue. It curves up slightly into a point at the front.

The suffix -pol can mean large or wretched, and this could refer to the lips or chin (tentli). If so, then it is not the name of the lip ornament, per se.
