Cf. the incipit of šumma ālu 47: šumma kalbu lā šû, ‘If a dog not his own …’ (Freedman S. M. 2017a: 57) and the pig omens in šumma ālu 49, 69′-67′. But this could also be a Hittite way of writing KI.MIN, because tamaiš should usually precede its noun.

Or: digs?

Cf. šumma ālu 49, 68′: šumma šaḫû lā šû idarrirma ana bīt amēli īrub, ‘If a pig not his own runs freely and enters a man’s house: …’.
