Nahuatl word for center point of the "compass"

[Mark David Morris]

Carl et. al,

I believe the center is considered the umblical, xictli.  I know the
Annales del Museo Nacional c.a. 1920 at least published material on this;
Lopez Austin's work on the human body probably also touches on it in his
discussion of the tonalli.  Sorry, I couldn't be more precise.
