Pronunciation
The most widely accepted pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) among non-Jews is Yahweh. Genebrardus suggested the pronunciation Jahve based on Theodoret's assertion that the Samaritans used the pronunciation Iabe. For most Jews, however, it was forbidden to pronounce or even write in full, the Tetragrammaton.
A. Lukyn Williams proposed the pronunciations of the Tetragrammaton to be Yaho or Yahu based on theophoric names in the Hebrew Bible that end in YHW.
The current scholarly consensus is that the vowel diacritic points attached to the written consonants YHWH in the Masoretic orthography of Biblical Hebrew were not intended to represent the vowels of such an authentic and historically correct pronunciation.
