Dear Bryant,

Sources discussing the Tetragram in Egypt:

M. Lauenberger. "Jhwhs Herkunft aus dem Sden
Arch ologische Befunde-biblische
berlieferungen-historiche Korrelasjonen,"
Zeitschrift f r die Alttestamentliche
Wissenschaft, 2010: 1-19.

Leclant, J. (1991). "Le "Tetragramme"  lepoque
dAm nophis III," in NearEastern Studies
Dedicated to H. I. H. Prince Takahito Mikasa on
the occation of His Seventy-Fifth Birthday.
Wiesbaden, 215-219.

Giveon, R. (1971).  Les Bdouins Shosou des Documents  gyptiens. Leiden:Brill.

Sources discussing West Semitic glosses in the Amarna letters:

W. L. Moran. "Amarna Studies: collected Writings." 2003.

S. Izreel. "Canaano-Akkadian" 1998.

A. F. Rainey. "Canaanite in the Amarna tablets: a
linguistic analysis of the mixed dialect used by
the scribes from Canaan." 1996.

I have not previously looked for information on
the Internet regarding  the Tetragram in Egypt.
Because you asked for links I searched the name
"Soleb," and I found
http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/2010/s10010053.htm
and several others. You can also search for
"Soleb".


Best regards,
