Vadim,

You are saying:
"The Masoretes mistook very distinct vocal schwa in word-beginning followed by another schwa for short e sound. Recognizing that unaccented e should become hirek, they introduced hirek in word-initial double schwa combinations. That Masoretic development runs contrary to the LXX evidence."
Could you expand, please, on this LXX evidence.
