Tony Prete quoted Niccacci as saying, in part: "This is done by a word-play
on God's personal Name based on verb *hayĆ¢*."

Is Exod 3 a word-play on the tetragrammaton, or vice versa? That is, is
the holy Name based on the verb *hayah*, or does the Name stand on its own
without traceable etymology but one can make a pun on it using the verb
*hayah*?
