Otlicahuetztoc (MH671r)

This black-line drawing of the compound glyph for the personal name Otlicahuetztoc ("Fallen by the Road") is attested here as a man’s name. It is a man in a profile view, facing the viewer’s left, on the ground or on his back next to a road, having fallen down. The fallen body suggests the verb huetzi, and the road (otli) is shown as two vertical and alternating footprints (suggesting movement). The person’s visible eye is closed, so perhaps he is deceased. The -toc suffix (went to do), suggests purposive action.
