You should better write, Isaac, on GOLW, roll away (you, males)! (Js 10:18) or on SOBW, (you, males) surround! (Ps 48:13) or on SOLW, raise up (you, males)! (Is 57:14).... rather than on XOGW, which is not found in the Bible.
The A (as you write it) in XAGIY is not a qamac; it is a qamac qatan = a reduced holam.
The same for TXAGUHU: it is a qamac qatan = a reduced holam.
And yes, all these dageshes are to show the doubling of the consonant (one for two, as you write): all these verbs are verbs "kefulym", doubled, ayin-ayin.
For what?, you ask.
Well, compare SOBW, surround! of Ps 48:13 with BO$W, they were ashamed, of Jb 6:20. Both are read paroxytone.
The dagesh in SOBW reminds the reader that it comes from a verb ayin-ayin (SBB, Ez 42:19) while the lack of dagesh in BO$W tells the reader that it comes from a verb ayin-waw (BO$, Jr 6:15) and not from a verb ayin-ayin (B$$, an unexisting stem here but a possible one to exist...)
Really, the dagesh is to show "one for two" rather than to hide something.
