The Sinaiticus book from Bill Cooper (1947-2021) is very uneven, but this paragraph is worthy of special positive note.

Thanks! Yep, any such help appreciated!

A new paper on Codex Sinaiticus showed up out of Bulgaria! Borislav Borisov - Bulgarian paper - epigraphy, graphology, palaeography, codicoligy, calligraphy...

And I have gathered some material on the W-H recension. First, let me show you that this is their term and their claim! the Westcott-Hort Recension When discussing in textual circles, we can say directly what we are dealing with the Westcott-Hort recension. That was their accurate claim, and...

This is your claim. Over 15 Hebraic/Rabbinic sources have quotes that support the pronounciation as Jehovah/Yahovah. And I believe their Hebrew background trumps yours by a mile. The thread involves English, Latin and Hebrew.

HaShem is NOT a name like the Tetragram. If I wanted to put HaShem into English, it would be "the Name". You might say that it is a type of circumlocution, a way to not say the Name. This can be permissable, but it tells you nothing about how to pronounce - יהוה

You are taking two contradictory positions. You are arguing against my English, while using the exact same words. Anyway, how do you pronounce the Tetragram? The big issue is not Y/J.

Whoops. Looks like you use the English J for Jews, Judaism, Jesus.

That is how you speak English? What English dictionary do you use? And how do you put the Tetragram into English?

In English we have names like Jacob and Joseph, even the very word Jewish. Maybe in your English you speak of those who are Yewish?

Technically, Sephardic Hebrew does have a J sound. And the transliteration of Hebrew to English generally uses a J sound for the theophoric yud.

Excellent! David and I coordinate closely together.

One good starting point is the consistency of theophoric names, all of which have the same starting consonants and vowels. The literal names match up with Jehovah. Jehosaphat Jehoachaz Jehoash Jehozabad Jehohanan Jehoiada And more. Here is the Jeho part of a chart put together by Scott Jones.

We agree on the Hebrew letters. The vowels are another question. And actually we are looking for the right transliteration. (Translation is another issue.) The two main contenders .. Jehovah and Yahweh. If one is right, the other is wrong. Even worse, one can be a counterfeit usurper. So...

The literal names match up with Jehovah. Jehosaphat Jehoachaz Jehoash Jehozabad Jehohanan Jehoiada And more. Jehovah is 100% consistent.
