To speak, the word that works to consume, to destroy of the mark, the covenant sign that works to reveal, behold.

Interpretive, not lexical. The dictionary sense of פִּשְׁתֶּה above is the attested meaning; this pictographic reading is a tradition about how the sign-shapes may have been heard. Both can be held at once, they are answering different questions.
