Quitlacomati (MH691r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Quitlacomati (perhaps “He Didn’t Do It Because of Laziness”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a frontal view of the upper half of a man’s body with his arms raised out at his sides. His head is turned toward the viewer’s right.

Added Analysis:

The verb tlatlacomati has a reduplication not found in the gloss for this glyph, so the meaning might not be the same.
