Thanks for all the help. I had thought if it could beThis kind of construction never happens. YHWH is nowhere in the Hebrew Bible found with a personal suffix. The only examples of YHWH apparently being "possessed", i.e. in the construct state, are in the construction YHWH C:BA)OT, traditionally translated "LORD of hosts", but it is unclear whether this should really be understood as a construct chain. Whenever the English is something like "my Lord", "Lord of all the earth" (Joshua 3:11,13 etc) etc, "Lord" renders )ADON [not )ADONAY], the regular word for "lord", "master" used also of human lords and masters. As YHWH functions as a name, and unlike Abraham etc this name refers to only one deity, there is no need for YHWH to be possessed, even grammatically.
YHVH+I as in EL+I = my God
