Hi Peter,Thank you, Bryan. No, I haven't had another reply to this. But does the Mesha stele use other final he matres lectionis? If so, this is no indication that the final he was not a mater lectionis. If not, it is in fact quite powerful evidence against the standard understanding of YHWH as derived from the root HWH, as in forms of such "lamed-he" verbs the final he is always a mater lectionis.
The Mesha stele, in line 18, has the Tetragrammaton (all four letters). Did Rolf respond to your request below? I didn't see a response.
