Tecuhcholoa (MH737v)
This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Tecuhcholoa (“Lord-Runs Away”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows the type of diadem worn by lords (tecuhtli). It is facing toward the viewer’s left, and it is tied at the back. The crown-like part has a mesh pattern and something like crenelation along the top edge. Below the diadem are two footprints facing in opposing directions. The footprints suggest the verb, choloa (to run away or flee).
