Kušuḫ, also known under the name Umbu, was the Hurrian god of the moon.

  • Kušuḫ (in Ugarit: kḏġ, kzġ) ist der hurritische Mondgott. In den kaluti-Opferlisten wird er nach Ea und vor dem Sonnengott Šimige genannt. Kušuḫ wurde früh dem Mondgott von Ḫarran (hurrit. Kuzina) angeglichen. Als Eidgott wird Kušuḫ, „Herr des Eides“, zusammen mit seiner Frau Nikkal, „Herrin des Eides“, und Išḫara angerufen. Im hethitischen Felsheiligtum Yazılıkaya wird er als geflügelter Gott mit einer Mondsichel auf der Spitzmütze dargestellt. (de)
