Oh wow!!
If I had known that - I would have invoked you also!
Lots of thought went into that - great name and thanks for teaching me new words - from a cat to acat!
You're right with the not speaking out of god's name in Judaism - that's probably why Christians got it "wrong".
I draw on my religious lessons in higher school for that question - I believe somebody told us about this mix-up, and that by just taking the 4 letters and doing with them, what is usually done in Hebrew, namely inserting the vocals into the writing, it would result in Jachweh.
So it's actually only two vocals missing, not three.
Maybe HeWhoShapes knows something more, how it reads to him. Hebrew script always, including modern text - for any sort of text - leaves out the vocals in writing, and when you read it, you know which ones go where. But maybe not in this case...
Oh - and I hope he and his are doing fine!
Sorry guys - will check through our/your exchange later!
