New Question
How do you pronounce Yehowah, Yahwe, Yehowah, etc. / Yehu, Yahu, etc.?

Answer to be provided in either
1. RP English
2. Yah- as in Yahoo, -we as in way
3. IPA - for those who do not know English pronunciations or speak in dialects


In IPA Yahwe would be something like [jæhwɛ]. Note the medial h is pronounced but there is no pronounced final h.

As for other suggestions, let those who made them explain them.
