PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above omen combines the protases of 32.S.46 and 32.S.47, which both have the same apodosis ‘that man will be vexed’. Note, 32.S.46 writes the verb ina-an-ziq.
  • See the commentary at 32.N.49’ for a list of omens involving lizards in water or beer (vessels). See the commentary at 32.A.3 for a discussion of the apodosis’s verb nazāqu and its associated emotions.
