ʕt, when read, ʕet, means "time". BDB outlines the usage of the word as follows. I've made a few minor alterations and left some things out. The BDB lists this under ʕnh, I.

• • ʕet, time
    • 1. time of an event, etc.
      • a. usually with a preposition
        • with b-, especially in the expression baʕet hahiʕ, in that time
          • also baʕet hazzot, baittim hahem
          • bekol ʕet, at all times = continually
          • bekol ʕet ʔašer, as long as I see Mordecai (Esther 5:13)
        • with l-
          • at the time when (2 Samuel 11:1)
          • leʕittim reḥoqot, for distant times
        • with k-
          • maḥar kaʕet hazzot, tomorrow about this time
          • kaʕet alone, at this time = now (Judges 13:23, probably)
      • b. often in construct, defined by the following noun
      • c. followed by an infinitive, as leʕet boʔ haššemeš
      • d. followed by a clause with a finite verb (poetic or late)
    • • a. usual time
      • b. proper, suitable time
      • c. appointed time
