“While the Hattian moon god, Kašku, was not worshipped, Hittite and Luwian religion involved extensive worship of Arma. For the Luwians in particular, the moon was associated with the months of pregnancy and Arma was therefore believed to protect pregnant women”

“Kašku ("shining star") was the Anatolian Moon god. He is known from the myth of the "Moon's fall from Heaven," in which he falls from his place in the sky and lands in the marketplace of the city of Laḫzan. The angry weather god Taru drenched him with a shower of rain”

“Kušuḫ s name is sometimes linked by researchers with that of the Hattian moon god, conventionally assumed to bear the name Kašku, which might point at early contact between speakers of Hurrian and Hattic. However, Daniel Schwemer notes that it is possible the Hattian god was instead named Kab, as suggested in a recent alternate reading of the same passage on which the older assumption about his name relies.”
