I would be very interested in any specific examples with double vowel 
pointing - and especially if they are in non-biblical texts. I am 
helping to collect data on Hebrew usage of multiple vowel points on 
single base letters, in relation to a Unicode proposal. If you or anyone 
on the list has such examples, in relation to any base letters, please 
let me know.
