Hello Curt; I, personally, do not trust or fancy any opinion that is put for by Jeff Benner, or his followers.
There is a notion that if the Shewa in YHWH, which usually gets translated as an “e” as in Yehovah/Yehowa, is actually a Shewa Na*h*, then it takes on the vowel sound of the following vowel within the word. If the following vowel within the word is a *H*olem, i.e. “o” sound, then the Shewa Na*h*would likewise make this sound, but this only applies if it is a Shewa Na *h*, and according to some scholars of Tiberian Hebrew, such is the case in the Tetragrammaton.
