["Vadim Cherny" <VadimCherny AT mail.ru>]

Besides sheer absurdity of making secret pronunciation of a well-attested 
verb, mappiq, and Aramaic, instead of the Hebrew root,

isn't it simply impractical to use a common stem of a common verb for the 
divine name? Recall the problem Jesus encountered with "I am" pun.

Oops.  Thanks for the correction :-)

Apparently the World English Bible would be the only other significant one to 
the Jerusalem,
(along with the "qodesh name" editions, where the names have sine qua non 
status.)

Fox, Alter, and the eventual James Tabor translations all seem to do similar.

Shalom,
