PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The omens 32.N.34’ and 32.S.30 share the same protases and partially share the same apodosis. The Nineveh omen expands the apodosis: NA BI ḪA.LA GU7 nu-kúr gišNÁ ‘that man will consume a share, relocation of the bed.’
  • The manuscript’s hand copy shows a broken sign after GU7 ‘to consume’, but as the signs are drawn on the hand copy, there is not enough room for an additional apodosis after GU7.
