Cocoxqui (MH905v)
Simplex Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Cocoxqui (“Sick One”) is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph shows a profile view of the lower half of a man. His feet and legs are bare, but a belt for a loincloth is visible. How this shows that he is ill is unclear. But perhaps he is ill and his name is something else, which the tlacuilo forgot to gloss.

Added Analysis: 

Typically, a cocoxqui is someone who is reclining. Someone else will sometimes be attending a sick person. In one case, the sick person is coughing.
