Please clarify for me. Someone wrote:

There is no "w" in Hebrew. The so called waw to which so many
non-Hebraicists make reference is pronounced vav, and should, in fact,
be written that way, and usually is. Yahweh is not even a possible
pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton.

Thanks for your help.

Oun Kwon.
