Kuu (Finland)
Kuu is the Finnish word for the Moon. In Finnish mythology it is a Moon goddess.[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.
