Then Shamash threw strong winds at Humbaba,

the south wind, the north wind, the east and the
west,

storm wind, gale wind, hurricane, tornado,

to pin him down and paralyze his steps.

He could not move forward, could not retreat.

Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him,

he held a knife to Humbaba's throat.

–Gilgamesh: A New English Version,
Stephen Mitchell
