I found the perfect book for me to acculturize myself in Ancient Hebrew 
land.

I finally found a scholar devoted to reconstructing the Near East.  Jeff A.

ONE supports my version of Y'H'W'H!!

Another support for all my personal research.  Imagine, he ends up saying 
Y'H'W'H means "breath".  That's because all possible ancient pronounciation 
of the tetragrammaton end up being breathy.  It fits my intuitive rationale 
for  calling the linguist tool, the schwa.  Deep inside me, I think that's 
why it was chosen.  So we could all agree to pronounce YHWH rationally.  Too 
much of a coincidence that the schwa is a Hebrew word to pronounce a string 
of characters when you don't know if they are consonants or vowels in any 
language..
