PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • See 32.S.42, whose missing parts have been reconstructed using the above omen.
  • The protasis’s pronoun -šu could refer to a general ‘(that) man’, but as the omen is paired with the preceding 32.A.39, it might also refer to be the house mentioned in that omen’s apodosis. See also the commentary there.
