Texopanecatl (MH901r)

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Texopanecatl (“Person from Texopan”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a round mosaic, one that would presumably be turquoise blue (texotli) if it were painted in color. Above this round mosaic is a banner (panitl) on a stick. Only the part of the stick that is attached to the banner (cloth or paper) can be seen. It is vertical, and the stick runs along the left edge. The flag or banner is a phonetic indicator of the -pan (locative suffix) on the original place name, Texopan, which is here modified to refer to a person from that town. The -ecatl affiliation suffix is not shown visually here.
