 VAT 09906 <ul> <li>The above omen is related to <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-N-49-/tei">32.N.49&rsquo;</a> and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-56/tei">32.A.56</a>. Each, however, feature complex protases in which a lizard falls into either beer or water within the same omen. While all three omens include ZI in the apodosis, the above omen uses a different translation of the sign. For discussions on the polyvalent sign ZI, see the commentary at both <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-N-49-/tei">32.N.49&rsquo;</a> and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-38/tei">32.A.38</a>.</li> <li>The thematic of lizards falling into water or beer (vessels) is common among the lizard omens. The commentary at&nbsp;<a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-N-49-/tei">32.N.49&rsquo;</a> includes a list. Note the sequence on VAT&nbsp;9906 (with a lizard falling first into a beer jug and then a water jug) transposes the sequence of the same protases found in the Sultantepe recension (<a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-S-46/tei">32.S.46 </a>and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-S-47/tei">32.S.47</a>).</li> </ul>DIŠMINanaDUGKAŠŠUB-maÚŠZI.GAÈDIŠMIN(EME.DIR)anaDUGKAŠŠUB-maÚŠZI.GAÈšummaMIN(ṣurāru)anakarpatšikariimqutmaimūtṣītuuṣṣilosses will occur.If ditto (= a lizard) falls into a beer jug and dies
