ʿAštōret
deity single tradition · 1
ʿAštōret is a vocalization of a deity's name in the Masoretic Text. Most scholars consider it as an artificial superimposition of the vowels of the Hebrew word bōšet (בֹּ֫שֶׁת, 'shame') upon the consonants of the original name; some other suggest it is a result of the Canaanite shift from /ā/ to /ō/.
