Sorry. I guess I see what you mean. YaHeWeh with the schewa not being
pronounced giving YaHWeH. Rather than discussing secondary sources like BDB
Yitzhak and I have been taking this discussion a level further by discussing
the primary sources relevant to the discussion. Namely, Theodoret's
transliteration of IABE and the others.

>> The editors of the Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon of 1905 boldly posts

>> letter-by-letter English Transliteration "Yahweh"

>> The same Hebrew Punctuation can be found in William Smith's 1863 "A
