there must be some confusion among researchers in the ancients sometimes using the word for moon to describe certain objects that caused large impact craters, despite having words for both asteroid and meteor.

The current working theory is that maybe whatever meteorite dropped on their heads was particularly moon-like, or maybe that the moon wasn't very visible at the time, so they thought the meteor was the moon.

Another theory is that only some areas had seperate names for 'moon' and 'meteor', while others just used the same, single word, or that the literal translation is something like 'giant space rock' and the words can be used relatively interchangably.

It's relatively a footnote, though. Most Ancient Language scholars are too busy tring to figure out how this one language is basically the same regardless of where on the planet it is.

Africa and Japan should not be speaking the same language in 107 BCE for god's sake.
