>so any doubling would have had to be written
out explicitly
actually, "doubling" is a popular name for consonant length in a
word like Huqqim. Length was not written with two symbols, so
Huqqim was written with one 'q', just like dal/dallim were not
written with two lamed symbols.
What we have in the Semitic languages is that words with
'doubled'/lengthened consonants drop their length when a final
syllable drops. That is why you have Huqqim preserving the length
but it drops in Hoq (after the case endings dropped). A verb
like יסבו yasobbu (plural) would become yasob (singular).
(Length retraction in forms like yissob is a second and different
phenonmenon.)
