Come on Isaac. You know that the convention is that a Dagesh forte is
transcribed by doubling the consonant. You may not agree, but that is the
convention.

Yigal,

It is not clear to me why you choose to subvert the biblical text and  
write SUKKOT with a double K, whereas the Hebrew word has only one K.
Have a happy Sukot.
