Meaning in the coffee cup

What does Gun mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?

A sudden quarrel draws near, and danger waits in the direction the barrel points; yet whoever reads the sign may step aside from fate's shot.

What does Gun mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?

Anger, discord and gossip circle around you, and trouble comes from the side the barrel faces; keep your words calm and the storm will pass.

What does Gun mean in the German / Central-European reading?

The gun warns of household squabbles and sharp words at the dinner table: a quarrel is in the air, and trouble comes from the way the barrel points. Hold your tongue at the right moment, and the powder fizzles out by itself.

Where in the cup does Gun appear — and what does that change?

At the rim the gun warns of a quarrel in the coming days, at the bottom of an old enmity with deep roots; near the handle the danger aims at your home, opposite it at a stranger, and the higher the barrel, the sooner the shot.
