Istar käenama Torminä, Anu, käenamast kee:
"Torm, lahetu tarvas vilyain,
nukkestina Kiilgame, kee saa ëksanä.
laheestilyakatust tarvas vilyain,
üga pakkate Mandoin Süüra
üga haudantest mandotarvasid
üga lantalasse'st mandoin
üga kevatest elennain vastaan vaa tundusin lennain,
üga maganänanunast!
puuliestinänast elennain lennain!
