According to the Hebrew cataloging manual: http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/118835961/HCM%20RDA%202017rev.pdf?force_download=1
Names of the Divinity Abbreviations representing the Tetragrammaton are romanized as they appear: ALA-LC Romanization: י' .Y ד' .D ה' .H When an abbreviation for the Divine Name appears in one of the first five words of a bibliographic title it may be necessary to make one or more alternative title added entry since the pronunciation and hence the roman spelling of the Name, when given in full, may vary with differing interpretations or frames of reference.
