    COFTY - last time now.

    je-hova is the god of ruin and disaster

    strongs #5753

    ahvah means do perversely

    hence j-ahvah or y-ahvah is a god that does perversely

    #5773

    ahveh meaning distorting and perverting

    thus y-ahveh or j-ahveh

    yahweh is the same name

    means god who dstorts and perverts

    deep roots among the gods of the pagan pantheons

    yahweh is not the name of the true Jewish God

    This name je-hova

    Was invented modernly by Benedictine Gilbertus Genebrardus

    between 1550-1567

    as I have already stated, I do not have a stongs concordance, so I cannot research it, I haven't got that far yet.

    Now in the nicest possibl way please, piss off and leave me alone.

    I'm not saying stupid conspiracy theories don't exist. I am simply acknowledging that they are stupid.

    But by all means, continue ranting if it helps.

    *lost*, I'll go for the w rather than the v. Here's a few sources that point to waw, pronounced as w.

    Waw (or wâw) : This is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, being in the shape of a hook. In the Phoenician alphabet, the angle of the hook is even more acute. Waw is frequently used as a vocalic consonant (semi-vocalic consonant: w = û, ü or ou). It corresponds closely with the English w (- double u -) rather than the v (uâu, u = w; e.g., in was, wine; Driver SW 155.178f). This applies to yahwêh, the latter having been vocalized as yahua with an audible h. In compound names it was changed to –yâhû, the final a losing its emphasis, disappearing, and ua becoming û. In early Hebrew waw was pronounced as w. In late Hebrew a w that began a word or syllable changed to y (as in the pe-waw verbs and the verb hayâ itself). See written form yehyâh (=yehwâh) of the first century (cf. yeyâ of the Tiberian Targums) as well as pronunciation yâhyâh (cf. Ia.Ia of Isidore from the 7 th century). [i]

    Edward Horowitz confirms that the sound of the letter waw is not v but w, and that waw is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet (as in Hebrew), later becoming extinct. Jews of Yemen, Arabia, preserving the most pure, accurate, and ancient pronunciation of the Hebrew language, pronounced it as the English w (e.g., was, wine) as in Arabian, a close relative of Hebrew. [ii]

    N.B. Pronunciation of above letters would differ in the early consonantal text and the later, vocalized MT. Vowel letters would play an important role in the pronunciation of the CT (up to 200 CE). After full Masoretic vocalization had taken place (from ca. 700 - 1100 CE) the vowel letters would lose their significance.

      best not talk about wt, its stupid, or scientology, or santa..

      This is called 'moving the goalposts'. Those - even Santa - are actual subjects with some history (even at least as a story). You aren't talking about anything even as well established (in literary terms) as the stories about Santa. There is in fact very little support among scholars beyond fringe sources for your fanciful notions that YHWH is a character who is distinct from YHVH. Nor is it particularly interesting to anyone if you insist that you know what isn't 'god's real name', but can't actually say what you belief that name actually is, especially when the whole argument is predicated on the supposed existence of something you can't prove exists anyway.

      Further, the Hebrew terms translated as hovah (Strongs 1943) and Jehovah (Strongs 3068) only have loosely related etymology from the common root of those words - hayah (Strongs 1933), which simply means to happen. It's like claiming that only mice have muscles because both words come from Latin mus and Greek mys.
