The use of the cognates SUGCEW & SUGCUSIS in Acts 19:29,32 seems to resonate
with the LXX use of the same in Gen 11:7,9. J. Wevers* notes that these
words are used to render a cognate pair from BBL in the MT Gen 11:7,9.

 Kind of surprised not to see this mentioned in Barrett (Acts, ICC) or
Fitzmyer (Acts, AB) or in any other source I have handy on Acts.
