Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HaNS 39: l- -h ḥyt for w l- -h ḥyt
Commentary
The expression w l- -h ḥyt almost certainly stands for w l- -h [h-] ḥyt in which the h- of the definite article has been assimilated to the -h of the 3rd person masculine singular enclitic pronoun, as in w l- -h rgm in WH 3420, etc. (see Macdonald 2004: 507 §7; and a similar case in Hismaic in Macdonald forthcoming [Fawzi Zayadine festschrift] inscription 4).
