Dear Iver,
You write:

>domesticated pigs.
You may be right, but it is interesting that BAGD notes that RHGNUMI is
used of a swine tearing in pieces with his teeth in Aesop, Fable 408 H.
The swine in the fable is tearing apart a dog (KUWN). So perhaps both
animals could tear in pieces the pearl thrower.
Yours,
