  As a result of his identification with the Hurrian god Teššup, Tarḫunna is also the partner of Ḫepat (who is syncretised with the Sun goddess of Arinna) and the father of the god Šarruma and the goddesses Allanzu and Kunzišalli. 
  
  His siblings are Šuwaliyat (identified with the Hurrian Tašmišu) and Aranzaḫ, the goddess of the Tigris river.
