Calmimilol (MH836r)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Calmimilol is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a profile view of a house or building (calli). But this building has an added pitched roof of thatch (straw or hay), which may explain the -mimilol- part of the name. This building is unusually tall.
