[Aztlan] Ball game question

[Pedro de Eguiluz]

Ball Game in classic nawatl is Tlachko, in the middle of Tenochtitlan there was one called Teotlachko "Divine Game court".

 

One of the clues that lead us to the origins of this game being astronomic observation, comes from the verbal form of the word Tlachtli "Ball game", Tlachia "Observe, see". It was used to say Ilwikakpa nitlachia "I look at the sky". "Observation post" was Tlachialoyan.
