| An interesting thing is the holem point in the qere-writing of YHWH.
| Sometimes there is an holem point, sometimes not. We have the same
| phenomenon when YHWH is written as qere "Elohim" (In combination with
| another Adonay). Sometimes holem sometimes not. Does it mean anything ot is
| it just to facilitate the writing?
I thought the holem vowel was always left out of the tetragrammaton. Do you
have a
reference for an occasion where it does appear?
