      These mimated forms were soon more weakened still, and the m dropped was replaced by a simple aspirate; it is what we call the emphatic state (see Syntax), to distinguish it from the mimation: obj. kašpa‛, “the money.”

      Mimated nouns also denote the instrument, e.g., magħżqa “mattock” from għażaq “to dig”, muftieħ “key" from fetaħ “to open”.

      Thus, we propose the following translation: “That which Ešmunyaton and Magon and Baʿalpilles offered to their lord(s) — the ʿAštars (or ʿštrm)”, or if we accept it as a mimated singular, “That, which Ešmunyaton and Magon and Baʿalpilles offered to their lord ʿštrm”.
