toponym glyph, Quiyauhtlayxpa

This place glyph reads ”quiyauhtlayxpa” (Nahuatl toponym, Quiyauhtlaixpa, ”Place in front of the rain”). It is unclear what meaning should be attributed to the head of the deer. Its logographic value MAZA does not appear to be part of the toponym, and since no numerals are attached, it does not seem to be a reference to the 7th day sign of the 260-day calendar either. It may record another toponym. [Jesper Nielsen]
