Ixtococ (MH664v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Ixtococ (“He Was Coveted”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of an eye (ixtli) and, below that, a bird’s eye view of two alternating footprints headed toward the viewer’s right, as though pursuing something (providing a phonetic indicator for the verb -toca). The -o- (passive indicator) and the -c (preterite tense) of the name are not shown visually.
