Dear Yitzhak,

Origen transcribes WA- and WE- as OU- before nouns particles and other 
words as well as before verbs. It does not appear that YOD is ever 
geminated in the manuscripts that have been found, but the material is 
very small. I am not aware of any instance where YOD should have been 
geminated, but is not.


Best regards,
