Peter:

Given the nature of Greek transliteration (or rather non-transliteration) of heh, the final could have been a -he as well as a -e(h).


The Greek doesn't rule out a -he ending, but the Hebrew does, for this would have been written (at least in post-exilic times) with two he's at the end of the word - the first a root consonant, the second a mater lectionis.
