    Synonym(s): Yahweh, YHWH, Yahwe, Yahveh, YHVH, Yahve, Wahvey, Jahvey, Jahweh, Jehovah, JHVH
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   IHVH \IHVH\ [Written also {JHVH}, {YHVH}.]
      A transliteration of the four constants forming the Hebrew
      tetragrammaton or [bd]incommunicable name[b8] of the Supreme
      Being, which in latter Jewish tradition is not pronounced
      save with the vowels of adonai or elohim, so that the true
      pronunciation is lost.
  
      Note: Numerous attempts have been made to represent the
               supposed original form of the word, as Jahaveh, Jahvaj,
               Jahve, Jahveh, Yahve, Yahveh, Yahwe, Yahweh, etc.
