Western Asia. The Sumerians [Gilgamesh cunningly exchanges Huvava's rays {i.e. magic weapon}. In most manuscripts, G. promises, accompanied by an oath, to give Huvava his older sister Enmebarageshi as his wife and his younger sister Mathur as a concubine. In return, Huvava gives him all seven of his rays. Huvawa's rays are described as trees: young men who come with Gilgamesh cut off branches from them and put together bundles of them at the foot of the mountain. Enmebarageshi is the name of King Kish, who, according to the Mesopotamian tradition, was a contemporary of Gilgamesh. Apparently, G. promises Huvava a fictional sister as his wife (on the contrary, his younger sister's name, Matur, is also known from other Sumerian poems about Gilgamesh). By naming his sister after King Kish, G. ridicules Huvava as an ignorant savage who knows nothing about the world beyond his forest. Several manuscripts include an extended version of this episode. The most interesting is a source of unknown origin, according to which Huvava gives his rays in exchange for gifts from G. The plaque retained the description of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth gifts. Perhaps the first two in this version were G. (in which case, subsequent gifts can be considered as a kind of dowry). G. exchanges Huvava's third ray for ash flour, food of the gods, and a wineskin of cold water, the fourth ray for Huvawa's big sandals, and the fifth for small sandals for "little ones" "Huvava" legs, the sixth on semi-precious stones (chlorite", striped agate (?) , lapis lazuli). When Huvava gives the seventh ray, G. approaches him, pretending to kiss him, and punches him in the face. The heroes bind Huvava, who asks G. to let him go, and then pleads to the sun god Uta, calling G. Huvava takes G. by the hand and leans down to him. G. is overwhelmed by pity for Huvawa. He tells Enkid about his intention to release the prisoner. Enkidu dissuades him, arguing that if Huvava is released, G. will not return to his hometown. Hearing these words, Huvawa insults Enkida, calling him a mercenary who is ready to serve even his enemy as a reward for his food. Enkidu cuts off Huvava's head in anger. With their heads in a bag, the characters return to Sumer (there is no description of the way back) and present it to the Supreme God Enlil. Enlil is furious and reproaches the heroes for killing Huvawa. According to Enlil, Huvava's head must now adorn the temples of the gods. Obviously, the text contains the etiology of the well-known practice in Ancient Mesopotamia of decorating temples with a sculptural image of Huwawa's head. The poem ends with a description of Enlil handing out Huwawa's rays. In the Nippur version, one ray each goes to a field, a river, a reed grove, a lion, forests, and a palace. Enlil takes the last ray for himself]: Nurullin MS; the Arabs of Oman [the greedy man came up with a plan to lure money from the prince; getting fragrances, the aroma of which began to spread from the window; who came up the prince was told that it was his daughter who threw out the water she used to wash; the prince sent a huge dowry and arranged a wedding; instead of the bride, a wrapped wooden doll was put on the camel; when he saw this, suffering from The abscess of the spirit laughed so much that the abscess broke through and the spirit healed; turned his daughter into a beautiful woman and replaced her with a doll; the prince is happy]: Taibah, MacDonald 2016:58.
