Parution : Mixtec glyphs in Codex Borgia ?

Résumé
The presence of the yahui, the fire serpent of the Mixtec, in Codex Borgia 38, is discussed alongside Nowotny’s suggestion for phonetic glyphs in the same page, related to a cypress or ahuehuete represented with a tree and a drum (a-HUEHUE). It is argued here that the yahui glyph might be a tonal play for the word ‘plaza’ (yahui) in Mixtec, denoted by the crenelated enclosure that sorrounds this glyph, while the word play for ahuehuete, in Mixtec yutnu ñuu or ‘drum tree’, also seems to work in that language.
