- ithkuil 5y agoWe have no idea how the Hebrew tetragrammaton YHWH is supposed to be pronounced. And there are no etymological common roots between this semitic root and the attested Indo-European origin of Iove. It's possible that the Yahweh vocalization has been influenced by the Roman Catholic church in order to "romanize" christianity
