Can anyone explain to me the process by which <i>mo+(i)ttah</i> (they look at each other, see themselves) becomes
<i>mohottah</i>?<br>
<br>
On p. 90 of Andrews’ Workbook (1975 ed.), Ex. 38A, no. 3 he writes: <i>Nepanotl mohottah</i>, and then on p. 195 gives the translation “They are staring at one another mutually; i.e., They are staring at
<i>one another</i>.” On p. 445 of the text, in the <i>Vocabulary</i> under (iTTA) he has “MO-(iTTA) = to look at oneself, to see oneself.” This is
<i>close to</i> but not identical with <i>mohottah. <br>
</i><br>
I have this sinking feeling that it’s something really obvious, but for whatever reason I can’t account for that first
<i>h</i>!!<br>

Thank you!<br>
