Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 2:5/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ב׳:ה׳

אמחבת. קערה מכוסה בקערה והתי״ו תחת ה״א כתי״ו ושבת לנשיא:

1A GRIDDLE. Machavat (griddle) refers to a plate covered with a plate.¹³ Its tav is in place of a heh,¹⁴ comes from the root chet, bet, heh, meaning to hide. A machavah is a utensil in which the food is hidden (Weiser), i.e., covered. like the tav of ve-shavat (it shall return) in then it shall return to the prince (Ezek. 46:17).¹⁵ is in place of a heh, for ve-shavat is a variant of veshavah.
