'''カシュク'''('''Kašku''' ("輝く星"))はハッティ族の月の神である。 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 {{ill|Liḫzina|de|lt=Laḫzan}}. The angry weather god Taru drenched him with a shower of rain and buffetted him with wind, which the goddess {{ill|Kataḫziwuri|de}} noticed while looking down from heaven, whereupon she and [[Ḫapantali]] carried out a ritual to calm Taru. The myth belongs to a ritual which was to be carried out by the "Man of the weather god, if the weather god thunders terribly."
