Or, possibly, a sentence such as: [UḪ₇] ku-it … “A dream which …” (cf. e.g. KBo 18.142 for a similar content).

Or LÚMUŠEN.DÙ.

Differently, Sakuma Y. 2009b, II 82 suggests a shorter formulation (KI.MIN(?)) but based on the approximate size of the gap, a longer restoration might be the most likely option; in fact, see also the necessary sentence with the name of the augur, to be restored in the gap of obv. I 17/9′. See Sakuma’s edition for additional tentative restorations in this paragraph.

Photo collation supports this reading, already proposed by Sakuma Y. 2009b, II 83.

Likely possibilities for this broken verb form include pár-k]u-nu-an-zi, aš-š]a-nu-an-zi, du-u]d-du-nu-an-zi.
