I also had trouble sending my response off-list as requested by the initial
post, but trust that the contents of my reply are, nonetheless, permitted
on-list.

Pronunciation might be illustrated as /Ya-oe/, or, to incorporate the H-H
consonants from the Hebrew back into the English transliteration, you get
Yahoh. This latter would seem to be the reconstructed Hebrew pronunciation
that the Greek YAO (YAW?) is transliterating. Since Greek was missing mid-
and final-/h/ sound in speech and spelling, their transliteration left these
out. The W is taken as a vowel /o/.

Do you have a reference for which manuscripts? I am aware that some utilize
the tetragrammaton, but have not tried to track down which ones.

God Bless!
