TALBOTT Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2017 3:49 PM To: Hebrew Name Authority Funnel Subject: [Heb-NACO] Transliterating yud heh vav heh Hi folks: I'm cataloging a book right now that has the tetragrammaton in the title. 1) YHVH? This is what the record has 2) Yehovah? My preference 3) Yahveh? As good as any other 4) Or should we use a euphemism,e.g ha-Shem? I'm not invested in this one and am agnostic as to the outcome, but which form is preferred? The euphemism 'ha-Shem" and "Adonai" are already slotted in the record as added title entries.
