An interesting tidbit comes out of a relatively new book from which we learn that in the Altai region the moon is called “Aidin” and the Keeper Lord of the Altai is Altaidin eezi. Obviously, the Polish Jaś comes to mind as does the Rugian Svantovit – whose Arkona temple was opposite from Jasmund (terra Jasmundia) both of whom had “moon” functions. But so does Odin the ǫ́ss or áss. Or, more remotely, even Osiris whose “moon” connection was already touched upon by Frazer.
