One more interesting fact about the LXX transliterations. While they
do not correspond very well with the Masoretic understanding of BEGED
KEFET (or, sometimes, syllable structure), they do accurately reflect
Masoretic grammar in that names that derive from Pi'el and Pu'al verbs
receive consistent double letters in the LXX:
