 Thank you, Cindy. It would appear that the repetition in Gramcord at Isa
 45:19 LXX is a dittogram. It happens today as well as in antiquity!
 Haplography too. My Biblia Sacra Vulgata downloaded from the Web lacks
 Daniel chapters 4 thru 12. Yours too?  Mercifully I have an old Bagster
 print-and-paper copy.

 Let us not forget that EGW EIMI is also the normal phrase for "I am....".
 I'm making no claims about myself when I use it!
