SU 1952, 242 <ul> <li>The protasis’s verb GU4.UD ‘jumps’ as well as the above omen’s apodosis have been reconstructed based on <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-12/tei">32.A.12</a>:</li> </ul> [DI&Scaron; EME.DIR TA x] a-na UGU NA GU4.UD!-iṭ NA BI INIM SIG5 IGI-mar [If a lizard] jumps! on top of a man [from …] — that man will receive a good message. Both omens are preceded and followed by parallel omens on their respective manuscripts. Nevertheless, the reconstruction differs from that in If a City 2. The UD of GU4.UD is clearly visible on the Sultantepe hand copy. The same sign however is interpreted as a phonetic complement to the verb &Scaron;UB ‘to fall’ in If a City 2, which reconstructs (182, 32.9) and translates (183, 32.9) the omen as follows: DI&Scaron; EME. &Scaron;ID TA x ana UGU NA [&Scaron;UB]-ut NA BI Ḫ[A.LA …] If a lizard falls onto a man from …, that man […] a sh[are.] The sign preceding the final break, INIM above and ḪA in If a City 2, is fragmentary. The hand copy only shows a Winkelhaken and what might be partial traces of some wedges. Any reading is tentative, but INIM fits the traces and harmonizes with <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-12/tei">32.A.12</a>. <ul> <li>The sign x as drawn on the hand copy is complete, but it is unknown to me.
