Main differences from OTL:

  • Ashokan missionaries get to Carthage (this fact isn't provable in-universe)
  • ... whose lect of Canaanite also somewhat differs from OTL and is more IE-influenced (from Azalic speakers; e.g. tense markers and negated adjectives/abstract nouns (e.g. bl h3wlt or later hbl 3wlt 'refraining from violence/wronging/victimizing') are more common)

Hadīqūt

Hadīqūt (a loan translation from Greek eusébeia, which translates dharma) is an offshoot of Punic religion that among other things condemns both human and animal sacrifice; its beliefs are somewhat poorly attested because of Christian suppression, but evidence about it survives in Latin and Greek texts.

It is forbidden to overexploit sacred groves (2šrym/2ašērīm, 2šr/2ōšēr is collectivized from 2šrt/2ašērō)

In translation, a Hadīqūt teacher is described as teaching as follows: "The Way of Piety is justice and righteousness; lovingkindness towards every soul and refraining from wrongdoing towards any of them; and steadfast devotion to the study and practice of Piety."
