Talking about "classical" empires and how they viewed their rivals, does
anyone happen to know what the Carthaginians called themselves?  Or at
least Carthage?  I seem to remember hearing something along the lines of
/qErEt HadaSa/, but i don't know if that's the Carthaginian name or some
kind of Hebrew cognate-translation.  And if it is something like QRT
HhDShH, how did the Romans mess it up so much?
