Kuu
Kuu is a Moon goddess in Finnish mythology.[1] According to the Kalevala, the daughter of the air Ilmatar allowed a teal to lay its egg on her knee as she floated in the abyss. The egg fell and its parts formed the universe: the white of the egg became the moon, and the yolk the sun.
Kuu is the Finnish word for the Moon.
