The Humpback died then because Silky Hero hit him. He fell into the river with a rumbling.
Попал Шелковый егдигэ - и умер горбатый, в реку упал с грохотом.
In this tale the defeated humpbacked falls with a metallic noise (kiŋtenezi). This is a typical attribute of Seleme kuai ‘Iron bird’ (that is, a dragon), an evil spirit, whose metallic feathering produces such a clatter.
