[8] Livio Warbinek tentatively suggests it might be derived from the Hurrian verb karḫ- (possibly "to hinder", "to encumber"), though he stresses the evidence is not conclusive.

[12] Based on the use of the same logograms to write their names, Piotr Taracha [de] assumes that he was a Kurunta-like figure similarly portrayed as a stag god.

[9] However, while Frühwirt accepts that Karhuha's character might have resembled that of Kurunta (Runtiya), since the latter appears instead of him alongside Kubaba in Kummuḫ,[11] Warbinek considers this implausible.

[11] Gianni Marchesi and Nicolò Marchetti assume that he was a Hurrian deity in origin, and that he entered the local pantheon when the city came under the control of the Mitanni Empire.

[23] A hieroglyphic Luwian inscription on a silver bowl from the collection of the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara mentions a ruler bearing the Hurrian theophoric name Mazi-Karḫuḫa, but its dating is uncertain.

[15] Alternatively, it has been dated to the eleventh century, with the labarna Tudḫaliya mentioned in the inscription possibly being a local ruler of Carchemish rather than one of the Hittite kings bearing this name.

[4] The last known reference to Karhuha has been identified in an inscription on a cylinder from Carchemish dated to the reign of Sargon II, which also mentions him alongside Kubaba.

[26] Alfonso Archi suggests that the Hurrian myth Song of dLAMMA originated in Carchemish, possibly specifically during the period when the city was under Mitanni control, and involved Karhuha, though he presumed that in the known Hittite version of dLAMMA was read as Kurunta, similarly to how Tarḫunna served as a stand-in for Teshub.
