That the original pronounciation of this noun was "abd" is clear from:
A. declensions in MT Hebrew -- "abdi" etc.
B. from Arabic where this form is preserved to this day. Compare the PN
"Abdallah".
..."m:lakim ("kings") (from "*malkim", here with a patah)."....
This too is simply the typical double plural of M. segohlites, where the
long vowel, in this case Qamatz under the L represented the last vowel of the
first plural, to which the standard --IM was eventually added.

Everette Fox doesn't use "Yahweh" in his translation, he avoids the
issue by transliterating the consonants of the Name as "YHWH"
