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

I don’t think that formulation is clear, Jerry Anne. 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.

Good question.  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

Well, it's been lost in the dust up, but what about cases where vowels are 
supplied?  Or is the Tetragrammaton always YHVH in all instances, euphemistic 
added entries not with standing?

Thanks folks.

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.

I agree with Aaron, and would advocate for YHVH (subscript dot under V) as the 
least controversial way to deal with this situation.

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.
