tepi

[Delia Cosentino]

Thanks, and just a follow up: is this related to tepilzin at all, i.e.
suggesting descent or an offspring, or does it have totally separate
linguistic origins?
Also, how might people read the name glyph of the stylized stream of water
grasped by a hand? Something like...(apologies in
advance)...Al(t)mapitchtli?

"tepi" means little, generally its appears with either the -tzin or -ton
diminutive suffix.

I am working with an AGN document involving a woman with the surname
'tepi', the meaning of which I am trying to parse (Is the 'pi' of pic,
to pluck? Any other suggestions?). I'm wondering if there is any way
that 'tepi' could jibe with a name glyph made up of a stylized stream of
water grasped by a hand, which is found in an associated image of a
woman?
