Hello James,

My post (I invite you to go back and reread it) did not deal
at all with the Greek.  I asked about the theophoric names,
which is what I understood you were referring to with "yeho's
and yahu's."  What evidence is there from these prefixes
and suffixes that the name was three syllables?
