When the electronic version of Rahlfs' text was created, punctuation was not included. The CCAT data has also never had it. To our knowledge, no electronic punctuated text currently exists, perhaps partly due to the fact that the original Greek didn't have punctuation.
Resulting accentuation issues:
According to Greek accenting rules, the grave accent replaces a final acute accent on a word that is followed immediately (without intervening punctuation) by another word in the sentence. This rule of accenting is observed in the BibleWorks BGT for the (Nestle-Aland) New Testament, but not for the (Rahlfs) LXX. The CCAT data duplicated the accents in the printed text, but since they left out the punctuation some of the accents in the electronic text do not follow the rules.
