Possibly Moses wanted to be ready with an answer to an expected
question by the elders of Israel, or by Paroh himself as to the
meaning (meaning!) of the name of the God of Israel and he gets the
answer EHYH = EHWH.
for an interchange of Y and W see Gen. 3:20:
ויקרא האדם שם אשתו חוה כי הוא היתה אם
כל חי
XAWAH being written with a W, not, with the more appropriate, Y, XAYAH.
Notice also the personal pronoun הוה HWH instead of היה HYH.

the name Ehyeh is never mentioned again. But what does it prove?
That it
is insignificant?
