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
