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!
