Grammatical shift of Punic language

So I was searching up the og punic pronounciations of Hannibal's generals and found something interesting from my friend whose very interested in the ancient world, that being how the punic language had shifted in saying some vowls and consonants. Specifically by the later period of Carthage's history

For example Carthalo's punic name of Melqart-Hilesh would be Qart-Halats by the time of the infamous 2nd Punic War, or how the ''Ba'al'' in Baal-Hamon or in Hannibaal would be pronounced closer to ''Bol'' so yeah, can anyone weigh their two cents on this? is my friend being accurate? He says his source is that Phoenician-Punic dictionary. But hopefully I'd get some good insights on this.

Thanks

Would Antoine Lasalle perform better than Joachim Murat?

It seems Murat was a great cavalryman but it seems he should have never been promoted beyond captain. So what if instead, Lasalle somehow caught Bonaparte's eye more than Murat did and thus awarded his Marshal's baton instead of Murat. How well could he have done? would he have performed better or worse at the head of a much larger cavalry force? could he have averted some grave mistakes like during the long march in the Russian Campaign?
