I am trying to confirm that heth/X is never used as a suffix in west Semitic Biblical names and non-loanwords in Biblical Hebrew. Heth/X can appear at the end of a name or word in Hebrew, but it’s always as an integral part of the root, never as a suffix.

To my knowledge, the consonant never occurs in the semitic languages as an inflectional morpheme. It is always part of a lexical stem or root.
