You are right, the only question being is what is "theophoric". It is reasonable to assume that R is thephoric, as well as H, which is but mild X, as in היה HAYAH versus חיה XAYAH, and which appears in the name revealed (and explained) to Moses in the desert. In other words, every consonant (a uniliteral root) is a theophoric name for this or that theos residing in the vast pantheon of the human mind.
