PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • This omen is thematically linked to 32.N.47’, with opposing protases. Their apodoses are semantically related as well.
  • The verb nukkuru with É means a move, resettlement, a change in domicile. See CAD N/1, 170 s.v. nakāru 11c.
  • The above omen’s protasis is similar in meaning to the protasis of 32.A.52. There the protasis is DIŠ EME.DIR ina É NA ina GE6 GÙ-šú ŠUB.ŠUB-di, ‘If a lizard keeps making noise at night’. The apodoses differ, however.
