This reading of earplug is in keeping with J.M.A. Aubin's reading from 1884
(Memoire sur la peinture...).
See also Primeros Memoriales, 52v, where "Coanacochtli" has his ear
obscured, but his glyph is a complete, live serpent threaded once through a
human ear. I don't have access to Sahagun's Florentine Codex at the moment,
but he should appear in a position analogous to the Primeros Memoriales,
although portrayed even more through a Tenochcan filter than even the
Primeros Memoriales (from Tepeapulco).
On Mapa Tlotzin, his glyph appears to be a serpent emerging from a disk.
Because this is a small detail, neither the illustrations in the re-edition
of Aubin (UNAM 2002) nor Douglas (2010) allow for close inspection of his
glyph in that document. The disk from which the serpent is emerging is
surrounded by a small red circle that may have a device to the left to
indicate it is overall an earplug. In my 19th century lithograph (which
appears to come from Aubin's work), the same detail is seen and perhaps
elaborated a bit--and elaborated correctly probably--in the entry for this
person ("Coanacoc") in Garcia Granados (1952).
So, the two glyphs that come quickly to mind and are at hand match up
reasonably well, which is not always the case with Nahua writing which can
be very creative in glyph composition--as is shown by the Primeros
Memoriales glyph being a live snake in a ear rather than a static depiction
of a serpent earplug.
