Even better, the letters!

You think it's more important than the letters? I think you're wrong.

But a clue apart from the other clues already mentioned is that the W is the same sound as in Rouach. It's an elongated ooouuu. So it becomes Yaaa-huuuuu-aaaaa as I said. Or Yah-ou-ah.

No. So, how to pronounce yhwh as the name of God? This is the 2nd time I have asked.

You all speak English I presume? I thought of a simple way to figure this out, just look at the very first Bibles translated into English, these Bibles were written before, the Jehovah's Witnesses were even a religion. Actually the first Bibles written in English were written over a hundred years before their religion even began, using the word Jehovah.

You will find God's name in the first English Bible either at Psalms 83:18 or a footnote.This is the way it was pronounced in English not Hebrew.

Usage in English Bible translations​

The following versions of the Bible render the Tetragrammaton as Jehovah either exclusively or in selected verses:

• William Tyndale, in his 1530 translation of the first five books of the English Bible, at Exodus 6:3 renders the divine name as Iehovah. In his foreword to this edition he wrote: "Iehovah is God's name... Moreover, as oft as thou seeist LORD in great letters (except there be any error in the printing) it is in Hebrew Iehovah."
• The Great Bible (1539) renders Jehovah in Psalm 33:12 and Psalm 83:18.
• The Geneva Bible (1560) translates the Tetragrammaton as Jehovah in Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, and two other times as place-names, Genesis 22:14 and Exodus 17:15.
• In the Bishop's Bible (1568), the word Jehovah occurs in Exodus 6:3 and Psalm 83:18.
• The Authorized King James Version (1611) renders Jehovah in Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2 (see image),
