    That the original pronounciation of this noun was "abd" is clear  from: 

  A. declensions in MT Hebrew -- "abdi" etc. 

   B. from Arabic where this form is preserved to this day. Compare the PN 
"Abdallah".

   ..."m:lakim ("kings") (from "*malkim", here with a patah)."....

  This too is simply the typical double plural of M. segohlites, where the 
long vowel, in this case Qamatz under the L represented the last vowel of the 
first plural, to which the standard   --IM  was eventually added.

Everette Fox doesn't use "Yahweh" in his translation, he avoids the 
issue by transliterating the consonants of the Name as "YHWH"
