Dear Uri,

In both Kuntillet Ajrud and Kh. el-Qum a pronnominal suffix is attached to what is trasliterated in English as "asherah", making the meaning clearly "his asherah".

HH: But Kitchen does consider reading the H as part of the name Asherah to be a valid alternative interpretation. You evidently are disagreeing with him.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
