Why do you think this list signifies segholization?
I write:
I don't think it does. But in comparison with the transliteration
scheme of Origen: barasith versus brisith or birsith (note that
Epiphanius will have been working with an eta already itacized), we're
clearly dealing with the same process of the shortening/sharpening of
vowels in the two centuries since Origen's time that segholization is
likewise a symptom of.
