I know Phoenician isn’t one for matres lectionis, so I’d imagine this has to be read as a consonantal /ʔ/? 

Also interesting to note that Pûlu (Babylonian name of Tiglath-Pileser III) is likewise spelled pʾl in the Phoenician section of the İncirli Stele (against Biblical פּוּל). Hmm...

I was having trouble reconciling the Tiberian form with Ugaritic a͗byn, but apparently *a > ɛ is regular in this position. Thanks Garr! (from “The Seghol and Segholation in Hebrew”)
