Has anyone ever heard of these?  Out of curiosity, I came across this one day.  Anyone ever heard of this guy, Gertoux?

"The word Yahowah has never been used in any Bibles. The (fanciful) grammatical pattern which involves a change a to e has never existed. In actual fact, before 1100 CE , the Tetragram has been pointed with only the two vowels e, a of the Aramaic word Shema which means "The Name".The vowel o appeared, after 1100 CE , owing to the influence of the reading of the word Adonay."
