attacking a straw man, as NO ONE except you in this discussion, except
yourself, has suggested a divine name anything like "ihie".
Besides your imagined hophal Yahwe, ...

This is not true. We also have forms like IAOUE and IABE, as well as AIA
and others. All of these forms need to be interpreted. But they are all
basic evidence which need to be treated a priori on the same level.

iehawe or iahwe, but no less likely is letter-for-letter transcription of
YHWH. aia could be 1s FT, but equally well this could be an isolated garbled
pronunciation. Iao, on the contrary, is attested in independent sources, and
