If a woman gives birth, and the left ear reaches to the cheek, a strong one will be born in the man's house[109]. If a woman gives birth, and both ears reach to the cheek, that land will be destroyed, protection will be withdrawn.

If a woman gives birth, and there are two ears on the right side and the left ear is missing, the angry gods will return to the land and the land will have peace. If a woman gives birth, and there are two ears on the left side and the right ear is missing, the counsel of the land will be disturbed. * * * * * If a woman gives birth, and both ears are flattened,--revolt. The principle consistently applied throughout these omens is that a defect or deformity on the right side is an unfavorable sign, and that the same phenomenon on the left side is unfavorable to the enemy, or favorable to you. A large ear--suggesting that of a lion--points by association to enlargement and increased strength. The text then passes on to other peculiarities.

If a woman gives birth, and the arms (?) are short, he will attain favor. * * * * * If a woman gives birth, and the upper lip rides over the lower one[114], he will attain favor. If a woman gives birth, and the lips are missing, the land will encounter distress, the house of the man will be destroyed. If a woman gives birth, and one arm is short, that man will be preferred[115]. If a woman gives birth, and the right hand is missing, that land will suffer destruction.
