vav in each theophoric name

Here is a question: How can we be sure that the cholam and the vav do not simply make the O sound together without the V sound? In theophoric names that begin "Yeho-" the vav is present. I assume that we know the vav also has the V sound because that vav has its own vowel kamatz?

The Secrets of Hebrew Words by Rabbi Benjamin Blech. He is one of Nehemia's "16 Rabbis" that say the vowels of the Name are sheva cholam kamatz to make Yehováh.

Herb Brooks - even before the recent discoveries, the theophoric names and other evidences solidly supported Yehovah. That is why I suggest the book by David-Paul Drach as an example of super-strong pro-Yehovah scholarship.

The theophoric names have always been virtually a simple proof. The contras have to dance the jig.

Then you add:

Nehemia's finds from the Hebraic sources, including various rabbis. This scholarship includes affirming that the points were true, the Masoretes were working with a living language (whether or not the points preceded their work.)

The communal find of Yehovah in 150+ Masoretic text mss.

Then .. why is there any more question?

Answer: spiritual principalities.

(Then you run into yahweh-pater being father-jove = jupiter).

btw, there were some incredible writings about the pagan yahweh and the majestic Jehovah/Yehovah over a century ago.

Katherine Witherell - afaik Drach has never been translated to English I have a thread on this here:

The Creator's Name | David Paul Drach - De l'Harmonie entre I'Eglise et la Synagogue Vol 1 (1844) | Facebook

David Paul Drach - De l'Harmonie entre I'Eglise et la Synagogue Vol 1 (1844)...

There are some wonderful writers c. 1600s-1700s. It is my sense that Drach is superior, and may well be the best single writing from the 1700s to recent years.

Katherine Witherell - I started a thread on the "pagan Yahweh" question, English sources.

Katherine Witherell asked: "are any of those writings in English- about Yehovah versus pagan Yahweh from over a century ago?" Here is one or two that I felt were quite wonderful. And I believe this...

Katherine Witherell - some yahweh-pushers have made an issue over the idea that the vav has two vowels in Masoretic printed editions and this presents a grammatical problem that points to the artificiality of the cholem.

And I am setting up a page on the question.

two vowels with the vav?

two vowels with the vav?

Doug Kutilek https://www.facebook.com/groups/KJVOdiscussion/posts/5853304771456642/ Indeed, anyone who knows Hebrew immediately sees a huge problem with how the name is commonly written in the masoretic text: the consonant vav--the third in the name--has TWO vowels written with it--a holem...

Katherine Witherell Vowel points are indicated by using dots and dashes of various kinds above, below, or in the middle of letters. These are known as nikkudim. The dot above the Heh (ה) or sometimes over the Waw/Vav (ו) in the Tetragrammaton is called cholem/cholem/holem and represents an O vowel sound.
The Revia (diamond shaped dot) is one of the Te'amim, which serve both as musical notes and as indications of where to place the stress or accentuation. They also serve as Masoretic punctuation marks, just as we use colons, semi-colons, commas, etc. The stress in the Name falls on the last syllable, so this is usually represented by a revia next to where the cholem would be, or by a different te'am (accent mark) underneath the Vav/Waw next to where the qametz (T- shaped) vowel mark would be.
I hope that helps and isn't too confusing.
