Which common pronunciation corresponds to Niphal? I have not heard anyone propose anything like the probable Niphal form Yehawe (in which the first vowel must be a full tsere, not a sheva).Vadim, this is not true. If by "Jews" you mean people speaking from Jewish
tradition, then Jewish tradition does not have a vocalization of the
Tetragrammaton, and cosiders it forbidden to pronounce. And I know of no
Jewish source that understands the Tetragrammaton as anything but a proper
noun.
That there are individual Jews, including perhaps some on this list, who
have concluded that YHWH is a verb and that it may have been vocalized in
one way or another, is their privelage. None of them speak for Jewish
tradition.
I meant only common pronunciation, which corresponds to niphal. It is not
the only one, but quite common.
