"A second time, may the gift-bringing bird not be able to make a gift, may the gift-bringing heron not be able to make a gift!" It (the turtle) catches fish; it collects eggs and crushes them. It crushes the suḫur carp in the { honey plants } { (1 ms. has instead:) reedbeds }. It crushes the eštub carp in the little zi reeds. It crushes toads in the ligiligi grass. It crushes fish spawn, its offspring, its family.
