Below is a link to a photo of text from Smith's "A Dictionary of the
Bible" published in 1863.

The text says: "There remains to be noted the suggestion of Gesenius that
the form YAH:WEH,
which he adopted, might be the Hiph. fut. of  the substantive verb."

Actually, archeological work proves that the religious faith of Israel at
the time bore little resemblance to the Yahwism inflicted by Josiah's
pogrom.

For instance, there was a sacred pole or tree (which is known, I just don't
remember which) in the Temple.

And graffitti scrawled everywhere - in and out of Jerusalem - blessing
Yahweh and Ba'al and their jointly held wife, Asherah.
Yours,
