 K 03726+ Sm 0472+ <p>The broken sign in Sm 0472+&nbsp;4&#39;, read as ˹x˺, is the head of a horizontal wedge. <em>If a City</em> 2, 276, n. 32-33&#39; (typo: the note refers to her omens 33&#39;-34&#39;), suggests that an adverb or an adverbial phrase may have occurred in the break, perhaps &#39;all day/all night&#39;, beginning with <em>ina</em>, as for instance, in omens <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-40-/tei">38.40&#39;</a>-<a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-41-/tei">38.41&#39;</a>. Whether or not this is correct, the ˹x˺ cannot represent the beginning of G&Ugrave;.G&Ugrave;-<em>si</em> because otherwise 38.32&#39; and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-33-/tei">38.33&#39;</a> would have the same protasis.</p>DIŠDIŠDIŠMINlal-la-rulal-la-ruinainainaÉÉE2………GÙ.GÙ-si(indent)ENÉ…ÉBIBIR-aḫNANAxDIŠlal-la-ruinaÉNAx…GÙ.GÙ-siENÉ…ÉBIBIR-aḫšummalallaruinabītamēli……ištassibēlbīti…bītušūissappaḫthe owner [of the house … that house] will be dispersed.If a $lallaru/$-cricket in a man's house … […] calls repeatedlyIf a grasshopper in a [man's] house […] is persistently calling, the owner […; that house] will be dispersed.
