Hi Kirk, You wrote: "B-Hebrew is a forum for the discussion of the Hebrew Bible: its language, grammar and content.

Kirk, Is it possible that the double part Gesenius played in the 19th century, both in adding his voice to those voices who were stating that Hebrew word #3068 [yod-shewa-heh-defective holem-waw-qamets-heh][i.e. JEHOVAH] was not actually the true name of God, as well as proposing that a better vocalization of the Tetragrammaton might be: [Yod-patah-heh-silent shewa-waw-segol-heh][ie. "Yahweh"] is it possible that this issue could be discussed on b-hebrew at this particular time. I own an original Volume One of William Smith's 1863 "A Dictionary of the Bible", which allows links to be provided to many interesting images, that are found in William Smith's 1863 "a Dictionary of the Bible".
