<li>See the commentary at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-80/tei">32.A.80</a>. The Assur omen and the above resemble each other, but instead of the lizard falling into a dugŠAB Ì ‘an oil bowl’, as above, the lizard falls into a DUG GIŠ.Ì.MEŠ ‘sesame-oil pot’ in the Assur omen. The apodoses have orthographic differences, but are the same and unfortunately break off at almost the same point in the text.</li>
<li>Although the hand copy shows the sign after ÚŠ to be ŠU, we read ­<em>ma </em>because <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-80/tei">32.A.80</a> has BA.ÚŠ­-<em>ma.</em> The two signs are alike, and this is likely a mistake on the part of the modern copyist. Additionally the very last sign of SU 1952, 242 <em>r. </em>40 is drawn on the hand copy as two partially preserved horizontal wedges. Again considering <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-80/tei">32.A.80</a>, we suggest reading ˹is˺.</li>

Instead <em>If a City </em>2 (188, 32.78) reads šu x […].
