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.
