“The First Hebrew Primer” I "looked inside" on this Amazon link posted here by Michael earlier. Says that the final "h" is silent when it's nor pointed by a vowel afterwards. The Name YHUH יהוה means "I AM", right? so I looked at the Hebrew verb conjugations "to be" to see how variations of it are pronounced: two that are similar to how the Name is written are pronounced: יהיה - "yihyé" (he/it will be) יהיו - "yihyú" (they will be) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071225115240AAlEzHB so, could the Name be pronounced "yi-hu"?

This particular page is from July '05. If you want to read some conversations between professors, researchers, linguists, and other people who have more than a simple interest in the Hebrew language, then peruse the threads on here. One thread that has some interesting information is on the 'pronunciation of YHWH', which actually starts in a different thread earlier in the list. If you decide to venture into the threads, make sure you have some time to read. Some of the responses are only a sentence or two, while others...well...aren't. http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/b-hebrew/2005-July/thread.html A page mentioned in one of the discussions is here: http://fontes.lstc.edu/%7Erklein/Documents/king_hezekiah.htm It also contains some interesting information. It's a reprint from Biblical Archaeology Review (an awesome magazine). -- Matt
