Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 527-528 emends ḫ]u-u-⸢wa⸣-〈aš〉; however, for other stem forms in bird oracles, especially with this bird name, in KBo 41.154, 7´ and KUB 52.24 rev. IV 2´. See also Introductio.
Based on the visible traces on the tablet, the sign tentatively read šal- cannot belong to the name of bird šalwini-. With Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 527 a reading MUNUS is also possible.
