(It's also possible that the Name was known in multiple forms: it certainly 
seems to have been shortened in some instances, e.g., in
the admittedly syncretistic Kuntillet Ajrud fragments, where it is sometimes 
found as YHWH, and sometimes as YHW.)

What makes you think that the Kuntillat Ajrud inscriptions were "syncretistic"
based on the evidence we have from the period?
