eyes
ὄμμα primarily denotes the eye, understood as the physical organ of sight in both humans and animals. It extends semantically to mean sight or vision, in both a literal and sometimes metaphorical sense (i.e., the capacity or act of seeing; discernment through sight). In extended usage, it can refer to the appearance or gaze ('the look' of something), and in poetic or elevated prose, may stand for one's perception or viewpoint.
