A: One broad fragment from close to the left margin and one small piece from the middle of a tablet with at least two columns. They contain the remains of seventeen lines written in very spacious cuneiform script. Faint brush or textile marks are visible on the surface, running parallel to the paragraph lines.

A: New Script (AḪ, TAR)

There is only one undisputed tablet with dream omens from Ḫattuša, KUB 43.11 (+) KUB 43.12. It was published in hand copy by K.K. Riemschneider in KUB 43 and edited in Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 153–154. A more recent edition is found in A. Mouton’s book on Hittite dreams (Mouton A. 2007a: 170–171).

According to Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 153, the piece KUB 43.12 belongs to the same tablet as KUB 43.11. The join is possible, but only the word aušzi at the end of three lines survives on KUB 43.12. Riemschneider proposed that the apodoses were written in the right column, but the space beneath aušzi would allow for an additional line in all three instances (hence the divergent line numbering in this edition). Alternatively, this may simply mark the end of the apodosis.

The preserved omens concern a man seeing various domestic animals in his dream, one of which, GU₄tar-wa-ša-an, is a hapax (see the commentary on §2′ for a discussion). Unfortunately, the Mesopotamian tablets do not preserve any passages about seeing animals.
