I discovered by chance that the following is not quite being fair to
Joseph or whatever he is called. I was surprised to find the form
BIYHOWS"P at Psalm 81:6, apparently from a theophoric variant Y:HOWS"P
of the regular YOWS"P. (GKC 53q treats this as a variant form of
hiphil, but I am not convinced). So we have a similar variation to
that we recently discussed between Y:HOW$W.A( and Y"$W.A(, though with
a different vowel. So it is at least possible that Y:HOWS"P was
original and YOWS"P a contraction of it. In fact the original might
have been Y:HOWYOS"P (as in the explanation in Genesis 30:23), by
analogy with Y:HOWYFKIYN, another theophoric name with a hiphil
jussive, or perhaps Y:HOWHOSIYP, by analogy with other Yeho- names
which are mostly followed by a "perfect" form - both of these forms
would naturally be shortened to Y:HOWS"P and then further to YOWS"P.

There is much that can be corrected here but I will have to get to it
when I
return (going fishing). I will address "Joseph" since that is my name.
the JO- of Joseph is NOT a theophoric and therefore not "YAHU-sef."
ywsf is the fut. of ysf (to add or augment) and therefore "Let him add."
