Teixconemi (MH844r)

Added Analysis:

Alonso de Molina’s Vocabulario has a number of expressions similar to this one about how getting right in someone’s face is rude and disrespectful. A few of them appear in our dictionary field. Other glyphs in the collection for the name Teixconemi (and teixconehua) sometimes have a foot (not a footprint) by the face, which may be a little more unsettling.
