I guess I was a tad absent minded. When this post arrived I was reading
some French stuff, thinking in French, and regrettably responded to the
query in French. I apologize to the list.

In any event, my remarks are quite simple: the reason that most folk dont
buy the "Jehovah" pronunciation is the simple fact that it is based on a
misunderstanding. You are riding a dead horse, mr Joseph.

Best,

Jim

oh- p.s.- yes, as anyone who has attended grad school knows, french and
german are required languages along with the Biblical languages for anyone
doing serious work in the field of Biblical studies.
