In the end, I can imagine the Ugaritic Phaselis ending up under the influence of the Dorian hexapolis and having the language die out as Rhodians take-over ~ 700 BCE.

The location of the future city was traditionally scouted by three captain-sailors who in 1628 BCE took refuge from a particularly fierce storm. They named the peninsula ''šskn.bʔl'' /šaskana baʕlu/ “Ba‘al has prepared” for the natural harbours providing shelter. The area became a favourite rest stop for many sailors and ultimately a refuge for pirates. An expedition from Ugarit in 1397 BCE destroyed the piratical base and construction of some sort appears to have taken place. Seven years later, the ''qrt rḥbt'' /qarītu raḥabāti/ “City of Amphorae” is mentioned as having been founded on the ''šskn.bʕl'' to “prevent destruction, to prepare rest, to prosper the trade”.
