Does anyone on the list know of any Biblical names that are prefixed with Yah 
or Yahu?
 
 Thanks

Dear Kenneth,

good question! Following the massoretic accentuation, there is no other 
choice than the traditional rendering.

But I made a quick look in my own notes on Ps 45, and as a matter of 
fact I also proposed your rendering in a seminary I hold two years ago.
Indeed it seems possible to say so:

"Was deine Rechte betrifft: deine Pfeile sind geschärft
(nämlich:) Völker sind unter dir,
sie (die Pfeile) fallen ins Herz der Feinde des Königs."

The remaining problem is: do arrows really fall (NPL)? they rather do 
sink (NXT) into one's flesh (Ps 38:3).

Reinhard
