== イスタヌ ==
イスタヌという名はハッティ族のエスタンに由来するヒッタイト語で、アリンナの太陽女神と関連している。{{dubious|date=June 2018}}<!--it's just the Hittite word for "sun" and at best *also* refers to this specific goddess--><ref>Maciej Popko: ''Arinna. Eine heilige Stadt der Hethiter''; Studien zu den Boğazköy-Texten Bd. 50, Wiesbaden 2009. {{ISBN|978-3-447-05867-4}}. p. 27</ref> Earlier scholarship understood Ištanu as the name of the male Sun god of the Heavens,始めは、イスタヌは男性の天の太陽神の名として考えられていたが<ref>[[Einar von Schuler]]: "Kleinasien: Die Mythologie der Hethiter und Hurriter," in: ''Wörterbuch der Mythologie''. Stuttgart 1965. pp. 198 f.</ref> but more recent scholarship has held that the name is only used to refer to the Sun goddess of Arinna.、最近の学説ではアリンナの太陽女神を指す場合にのみ使われた名とされてる。<ref>Jörg Klinger: ''Untersuchungen zu Rekonstruktion der hattischen Kultschicht''; Studien zu den Boǧazköy-Texten 37, Wiesbaden 1996, {{ISBN|3-447-03667-2}}</ref> [[Volkert Haas]], however, still distinguishes between a male Ištanu representing the day-star and a female Wurunšemu who is the Sun goddess of Arinna and spends her nights in the underworld.<ref>Volkert Haas(2011), ''Religionen des Alten Orients: Hethiter.''
