PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above and 32.S.52 appear to be the same omen with only slight orthographic differences.
  • If a City 2’s (180, *32.110’) reconstructed transliteration overlooks the ancient scribe writing KU instead of LU and though it reads the protasis's verb as TU 'to enter', If a City 2’s (181, *32.110’) translates the verb as "falls". 
  • See the commentary at 32.A.3 for a discussion of the apodosis’s verb nazāqu and its associated emotions.
