itta (Mdz63r)

This example of iconography shows a man with long hair and a cape looking at something. We are employing this example as an attestation of the verb itta, to see, and we are calling it iconography until we find a hieroglyph glossed in Nahuatl that suits this example. Small dots direct us to a starry eye with a point on the eye lid. The context explains that it is this man's job to watch the stars in the sky to see what the hour is. The night sky is dark and has twenty starry eyes of its own.
