Both the Catholic and Jehovah's Witness anthropomorphisize YHWH, but in reality the word should be pronounced as YaWa - or Ya'Wa'.
In ancient sanskrit, a short "a" is the default vowel. This is not limited to sanskrit but is a universal and generic default vowel and the most common vowel sound in most languages. The "H" simply means that the short vowel "a" is forcefully aspirated.
Hence the correct pronunciation is in my view simply YaWa or mort correctly Ya'Wa'
I'm not sure we anthropomorphisise the word as they were just as human as us - they just didn't have a very good language.
Hence the correct pronunciation is in my view simply YaWa or mort correctly Ya'Wa'
I knew that. Also, it sounds kind of like "You are" here in the South....a mirror of the ever-so-popular "I am."

So the name is Yay, as in a happy exclamation, with Way?
Yay-way
No wonder that gawd is so pissed... no one ever says its name right!
I find it very interesting that this supposedly almighty and all-powerful creator of everything can't seem to communicate the correct pronunciation of its name... yet billions of its followers sincerely believe they are supposed to kill for it.
