to wikipedia looking for answers:

    "[...] in ancient Rome, a magistratus was one of the highest government
officers and possessed *both judicial and executive powers*." (Emphasis

A somewhat related verb is <noH> (judge, estimate), from which we
might derive <noHwI'> (a judge), but certainly a magistrate
"administers" justice, so this might point to a distinction between
<loHwI'> and <noHwI'>.
