The Assur omen, however, has a longer apodosis that includes <em>ina </em>ŠÀ.ḪUL DU.DU-<em>ak </em>‘she will go about unhappily.’ Further, the Assur omen does not specify that the kettle is copper. The commentary at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-59/tei">32.A.59</a> discusses the connotations of twins in divinatory texts as well as the connection between ŠEN-vessels ‘kettles’, women, and fertility.</li>
