ma.sakh describes combining wine or strong drink, and in one clause placing a spirit of distortion within Egypt.

The attested use chiefly concerns preparing wine or strong drink by combining it; Isaiah 19:14 extends the same action to a “spirit of distortion” placed within Egypt. Psalm 102:10 has the same perfect form, but the supplied translation does not make its specific contribution visible.

   In Proverbs 9:2 and Proverbs 9:5, perfect verb forms occur in clauses where the APB renders wine as having been “mixed”; Isaiah 5:22 uses an infinitive construct in the description of men who “mix strong drink.” In Isaiah 19:14, a perfect form occurs in the clause the APB renders, “The LORD has mixed a spirit of distortion within her,” showing the action applied to a spirit placed within Egypt.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “mixed” or “mix” in the wine, strong-drink, and spirit clauses. Its rendering of Psalm 102:10 does not visibly identify this term’s contribution, so that occurrence cannot be assigned a more specific translation rendering.
