Arma (deity)

[citation needed] He is attested as the Moon god in Hittite and Luwian religion, with the name Arma-.

In cuneiform texts, the name is written with the Sumerograms dEN.ZU or dXXX, in Hieroglyphic Luwian with a crescent Moon symbol, which is transliterated as (DEUS) LUNA.

In this story, the Moon god Kašku falls from heaven and lands in the marketplace or gatehouse of the city of Laḫzan [de].

[8] In Syria he is assimilated to the cult of the Moon god of Harran,[9] especially in the 1st millennium BC, which was among the most important deities of the city.

It is theorized that the supreme deity of pre-Christian Georgian religion, Armazi, has heavy ties with Hittite Arma.
