["Read, James C" <K0434995 AT kingston.ac.uk>]

Recent extensive discussions on the pronunciation of yhwh have made me realise
that the meaning of the name is far more important to me than the recovery of 
its original pronunciation.
A lack of forthcoming liguistic evidence to support a hiphil form has made me 
reconsider my prior understanding of the name's meaning, which as I have said 
is far more important to me.

For this reason I have a question addressed to the Jews among us:

What does Jewish tradition have to say about the meaning of the divine name?
