It probably IS related to that verb, because of the meaning.

... You think it is accidental that the Shem HaMeforash has letters in it which are similar to the letters of the word meaning "to be"?


Shoshanna, if your question is for me, no, I don't think this is accidental. But then I think that the final he is a mater lectionis. The problem is Yigal's position, which seems to be that the final he is pronounced but there is no relationship to HYH/HWH. I consider his position inconsistent.
