Are you saying that even the brachos themselves, i.e. the endings, are
not from the AKhG?

BTW, was the Knesset Hagedolah a standing body, a 120-member super-
sanhedrin, which eventually decreased by attrition to the standard 71?
Or was it a one-time event, like the Knessios Gedolos of the Agudah,
or like the Philadelphia convention that wrote the USA constitution,
a convention that met for perhaps a few years and then disbanded, its
work done?
