The Septuagint (IPA: /ˈsɛptuədʒɪnt/), or simply "LXX", is the Koine Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, translated in stages between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC in Alexandria.[1]It is the oldest of several ancient translations of the Hebrew Bible into the Greek language, the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). The word septuaginta[2] means "seventy" in Latin and derives from a tradition that seventy (or seventy-two) Jewish scholars translated the Pentateuch (Torah) from Hebrew into Greek for Ptolemy II Philadelphus, 285–246 BC.[3][4] ]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septuagint

I also am a logophile (word fiend) and Lexigrammer so I added "E" to LXX.
I also like the number "5" and "E" is the fifth letter of the alphabet.
Additionally I like the mathematical aspects of "X" and the anime use of the letter "L".
There are several layers of meaning personal to me that I will not go into at this time.
Most are past lives' related.
And there you have it...

E is the fifth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled e (pronounced /iː/), plural ees (rare).[1] The letter E is the most commonly used letter in the Czech,[2] Danish,[2] Dutch,[2] English,[3] French,[4] German,[5] Hungarian,[2] Latin,[2] Norwegian,[2] Spanish,[6] and Swedish languages.[2]
E is derived from the Greek letter epsilon which is much the same in appearance (Ε, ε and function. In etymology, the Semitic hê probably first represented a praying or calling human figure (hillul jubilation), and was probably based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that was pronounced and used quite differently. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words), in Greek hê became Εψιλον (Epsilon) with the value /e/. Etruscans and Romans followed this usage. Arising from the Great Vowel Shift, English usage is rather different, namely /iː/ (derived from /eː/ in "me" or "bee") whereas other words like "bed" are closer to Latin and other languages in usage.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E

OK...my former name fayte.m was supposed to be "Fayte".
My great grandfather a 100% Cherokee, was named Fate.
I took his "T" and added it to my name.
As to my current user name:
LEXX.....
I study ancient writings...so
LXX=LEXX without the E which I explain later.
I also am a logophile (word fiend) and Lexigrammer so I added "E" to LXX.

I must perhaps resign myself to having only stolen and brief tastes of happiness,
for it appears that I may never be invited to the feasts.
