Bar Comas had much the better of the battle (Бар Комас имел значительное преимущество в битве) as he was stronger, quicker and more intelligent (так как он был сильнее, быстрее и умнее). It soon seemed that the encounter was done (вскоре стало казаться, что столкновение закончено) saving only the final death thrust (за исключением только последнего смертельного удара) when Bar Comas slipped in breaking away from a clinch (когда Бар Комас поскользнулся, уклоняясь от захвата).

Bar Comas had much the better of the battle as he was stronger, quicker and more intelligent. It soon seemed that the encounter was done saving only the final death thrust when Bar Comas slipped in breaking away from a clinch. It was the one little opening that Dak Kova needed, and hurling himself at the body of his adversary he buried his single mighty tusk in Bar Comas' groin and with a last powerful effort ripped the young jeddak wide open the full length of his body, the great tusk finally wedging in the bones of Bar Comas' jaw. Victor and vanquished rolled limp and lifeless upon the moss, a huge mass of torn and bloody flesh.
Bar Comas was stone dead (Бар Комас был «совершенно» мертв), and only the most herculean efforts on the part of Dak Kova's females (и только самые титанические усилия со стороны женщин Дака Ковы) saved him from the fate he deserved (спасли его от той участи, которую он заслуживал). Three days later he walked without assistance to the body of Bar Comas (спустя три дня он подошел без посторонней помощи к телу Бара Комаса) which, by custom, had not been moved from where it fell (которое, согласно обычаю, не сдвигали с того места, где оно упало), and placing his foot upon the neck of his erstwhile ruler (и, поставив ногу на шею своего бывшего правителя) he assumed the title of Jeddak of Warhoon (он присвоил себе титул Джеддака Ворхуна;
