Kurzfassung:
The discussion about the character of "Ashera" in the inscriptions of Kuntillet Ajrūd and Khirbet el-Kōm revolves around the argument that the determination of a proper name by a genitive attribute is not common in Semitic grammar. In the search for parallels, a Semitic written culture has so far completely been ignored: The inscriptions from Ancient South Arabia provide clear examples of the determination of a divine name by another theonym, but also by a suffixed personal pronoun, which should not be disregarded in the assessment of the ancient Hebrew evidence.
