THE “ah” / “eh” ARGUMENT
Some say that Hebrew words ending with an “ah” sound are feminine (i.e. Sarah,
Rebecca) and that the “eh” is masculine. This argument is used against יהוה being
pronounced with an "ah" ending. It is said that “eh” ending is correct because of its
“masculine” termination. Indeed, many Hebrew words with the “ah” termination are
considered feminine. However this argument fails when one examines Hebrew proper
names. Notice only one of the names below is feminine [in italic grey], while the majority
are masculine. It is common for Greeks to transliterate Hebrew names ending with
different vowels because of their own ideas as to what is masculine and/or feminine (and
also according to their pagan ail’ names), but יהוה is a proper Name that was revealed
to Hebrews and recorded phonetically in Hebrew, whereby evidence from the Hebrew
should be used as the primary source to recover the pronunciation and Greek (along with
other languages that use an A or AH ending) only secondarily. For the purpose of
accuracy, being The Sacred Name ends in the Hebrew letter Heh, the names ending with
the Hebrew letter Heh are underlined.
Here are a few examples of Hebrew names that end with an ah/akh/aw sounds with transliterations of these same names rendered in Greek: [All names are spelled
according to the pronunciation guides in the Strong’ Dict. or LXX Ttransliterated Bible]

[There are many more masculine names that end with the letter Heh that are pronounced as “ah”, such as
Yahu-Dah (Judah); Yahu-Nah (Jonah) – http://yahushua.net/YAHUWAH/chapter_16.htm ]
P.S. – The transliteration of “Yahweh” seems to be either a very late English rendition of
with the vowel points of HaShem, or perhaps a transliteration of the Roman deity יהוה
JOVE (variant spellings: IOVE; JOWE; and YAWE) a.k.a.- Jupiter [could you see that
one coming?]. Still trust the Greeks so-called transliterations for The Sacred Name?

Iae - Origen
IAOVE- Clement of Alexandria
Jave - Ante Nicene fathers
Jove – Homer (this is the exact spelling for the Roman ail’ [Jupiter] name. Jupiter is the
king of the Roman ails, equivalent to the Greek Zeus. The Romans called the largest
planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Jupiter is also known as Jove.) (See: http://jesus-messiah.com/html/jove-is-yahweh.html )
According to all the evidence the Greek consistently mis-transliterated the “ah”
sound at the end of all Hebrew names (with the “eh” sound). Especially being there
are many other languages that consistently transliterated the “ah” sound, which is
further evidence that stands to reason showing that the Greeks were perverted in
their doings, thereby the end of the Tetragrammaton should be pronounced as “ah”.
Also the Greeks, consistently, used vowels to represent the spelling of the Sacred
Name yet it is argued that the Hebrew spelling is made up of consonants, showing
further that on can not use the Greeks transliterations as a final authority as to any
particular sound within the Tetragrammaton [they can be used only as secondary
evidence to support other more substantial evidence]. No offence but using the
Greek’ “Epsilon” for an excuse to pronounce the last syllable as “eh” is as absurd as
using the Greek’ “Iota” to say that the first sound is to be as the vowel “ee sound”
instead of the consonantal “y sound”. The evidence left behind in Greek is not
conclusive by any means, and one should by all means first look to the Hebrew for
examples. And if one is going to consider the Greek transliterations they should take
into consideration the over all totality of habitual tendencies before jumping to a
conclusion. Again one can not honestly look just at what the Greek texts have and
draw a so-called decent conclusion when so much evidence says other wise.
