Arguments must be evaluated on the basis of quality and not on the basis of quantity. Please give a scholarly answer to the following question: In the Elephantine letters we find the letters YHW for the god that was worshipped by the community. What are the Aramaic (or Hebrew) *phonological* reasons for pronouncing these three letters as YAHU? Are there any phonological reasons that forbids that the three letters are consonants and that they were pronounciated YEHOWA, or YAHOWA, or YEHOWE, or YAHOWA?
