PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • We reconstruct the missing parts of the protasis using 32.A.51. The two omens are similar and differ only in orthography. See the commentary at 32.A.51 for the phrase GÙ … ŠUB.ŠUB-di and references to other omens about lizards making noise. For a discussion on animals making noise in šumma ālu, see 32.N. 47'.
  • KAL 1 (18, Rs. V 15’) reconstructs PAP in the protasis instead of DÙ, even though it too reconstructs the omen from 32.A.51 (KAL 1, 18, Vs. 51 A51), where it reads DÙ.
