Hi Ted

You asked James:

"Did the massoretes who pointed the text put the vowels of elohim under
YHWH 
 while conforming to pointed rules dictated by the yodh of YHWH or are
the  
similarities just coincidence?"

Ted, 

The Masoretes placed the precise vowels of Elohiym underneath the
consonants of YHVH.

The Masoretes DID NOT PLACE the precise vowels of Adonai underneath the
consonants of YHVH.

That is a sticking point for some of us.
