I agree with Jasmin. I can’t imagine anyone would read (or search for) the Tetragrammaton (even if vocalised) as ‘Yehovah’

Typically, where vowels are supplied, it is to indicate whether the Name should be pronounced as Ado-nai or as Elokim. To say “it should be Romanized with the vowels as given in the source” may imply using the YHṾH consonants with the addition of the supplied vowels, but those consonants are not (typically) intended to be pronounced. I think if the vocalization is given, that form (Ado-nai or Elokim) should be in the 245 with the addition of YHṾH in the 246. My half cent.

If the vowels are supplied should the Tetragrammaton be Romanized with the vowels? Should the HCM say: The unvocalized Tetragrammaton, יהוה, should be Romanized YHṾH. If the Tetragrammaton is vocalized it should be Romanized with the vowels as given in the source.” Thoughts? Best, Jerry Anne From: Robert M.

Or is the Tetragrammaton always YHVH in all instances, euphemistic added entries not with standing?

Is there any chance we could get a transliteration advisory covering this included in the HCM? 'Twould be quite handy for those few times it actually happens.

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.
