Dama X—How do you say Ometeotl?
Ometeotl is one of the new Aztec gods referenced in Dama X. A creator deity, Ometeotl encompasses both male and female energies—the duality of our world. Dama X and the drug used on her enemies have a connection to Ometeotl. Shown above is Ometeotl’s symbol. Gloria and Oracle see this design etched onto a disk in front of Felix Reyes’s home.
Unfortunately, I had a hard time locating the pronunciation for this deity. On Wikipedia, there is a phonetic spelling for the Nahuatl pronunciation: oːmeˈteoːt͡ɬ. Click here to visit a site with a voice recording of the name.
