Question

drawing a conclusion
the monster let out a deafening cry, his roar boomed forth like a blast of thunder, he stamped and the ground burst open, his steps split the mountains of lebanon, the clouds turned black, a sulfurous fog descended on them and made their eyes ache. 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.
