  Right, this is what I always thoughts. I remember researching years ago, the 'divine' names. Finding that it's impossible to trace the exact pronunciation of YHWH back with 100% accuracy (i.e. cross checking with non biblicac sources), but I remeber reading that in non biblical Hebrew poetry dating back to those times, it is certain that the pronunciation of 'YH' as YaH is accurate.

  I understood there was no evidence to prove the pronunciation of 'WeH'... But even if there isn't, it doesn't matter because it is possible to pronounce YahWH without knowing the last voul, and if you do so, it can only render as something very similar 'Yahweh', therefore the JW's, though knowing this, chose to use the more common, popular Jehovah, which is completely innaccurate.

  Why JeHoVah not JaHoVaH?

  Well, from what I remember reading a long time ago, it was the Jewish leaders who deemed 'Yah' too 'sacred' to utter that changed it to 'Yeh' when spoken aloud, likewise with the name of the Messiah should be rendered something like 'Yahshua', but since it was too sacred to pronounce the 'Yah', they also changed that to 'Yeh', and 'Yehshua'... You will find references to Yehshua in Watchtower explanations of the name 'Jesus' but not anything relating to the true YaH pronunciation as it contradicts their choice of JeH.

  Another thing worth pointing out is that Hebrew names make a statement and are not 'just' names. So where Yahshua means 'Yahwh is salvation' or something to that effect. Yeshua does not, and the 'Jesus' hybrid latin/greek name, makes no statement whatsoever, and does not incorporate any part of the meaning of saviour or salvation from it's own native greek/latin. Rather as you probably know, Jesus is a further hash up of Ieosus, and Jesus was never called Jesus in his own lifetime.

  Also worth bearing in mind for both the false names of Jehovah & Jesus is that there has never been a letter J in Hebrew. Even our English 'J' only appeared in English 500 years ago, when it often replaced the letter 'I', usually at the beginning of a word.
