Very interesting.  I have always assumed that the
tetragrammaton had no pronunciation, but I suppose
that your suggestion is equally likely. (Either way,
it sounded nothing like YAHWEH, or JAVE, or JOVE, or
YAHOVA, etc....)

Joel,

I was thinking, that if your first statement was
correct, then what did the High Priest pronounce on
Yom Kippur? Secondly, I would like to know what you
believe the Name was closer to when spoken if was not
similar to any that you mentioned above.
