isaac,

first, they had no pens.

second, did you see them double the letters?

third, maybe they also inventer EL=mighty and ELON=OAK and all the other 
words you always build your lofty theory upon?
but you know exactly where to draw the correct line between the true and 
false hebrew.

fourth: if anyone of the B-Hebrew listers can find solid documentation which 
shows that these doubled letter words 
are much older than the naqdanim and the scribes, in many semitic dialects, 
will you eat your hat or
discredit the evidence as irrelevant? i assume the second option.

it really is an uphill battle. i give up.

best
