The name Filigheddu gives ('NN, confirmed here) certainly shouldn't be transcribed as "Maleth", which is presumably MLṬ. Are there inscriptions that support that name for the town? Was it a different name for the same settlement or a different settlement in the same area? — LlywelynII 21:16, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am right now looking into it and Culican, W. (1992) in "Phoenicia and Phoenician colonization" suggests 'NN to be "Ann". This would be reasonable as ' often becomes A in Punic transliterations, however Punic being semitic it is reasonable to assume there might be other vowels lost in time (certainly possible between two consonants like NN in this case). 89.206.112.13 (talk) 08:30, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
