<li>For the interpretation of <em>pí-is-lat </em>ḪUL ‘negative twist of fate’ and the phonetical associations between the protasis and apodosis, see the discussion at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-N-30-/tei">32.N.30’</a>. The two omens appear to be the same. See also <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-10/tei">32.A.10</a>; although similar, the subject of the Assur omen’s apodosis is KALAG.GA-<em>su </em>‘his fortress’ instead of ‘he’ (referring to the man in the protasis).</li>
<li>The hand copy shows a break after IGI and plenty of room to reconstruct the phonetic complement -<em>mar</em>. It has therefore been added to our reconstruction. The reading EME.SID in <em>If a City </em>2 (182, 32.6) is surely just a typographic error for EME.ŠID.</li>
