PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
- The last sign SIG5 is fragmentary. The remnants shown on the hand copy may actually be ḪUL ‘evil, bad’ instead. See VAT 9906 v 7’.
- For the use of šum4-ma instead of DIŠ, see the commentary at 32.N.3. Such omens often directly relate to the omen preceding them.
See also VAT 9906 v 8-11’ for another omen constructed with šum-ma.
