  IHVH \IHVH\ [Written also JHVH, YHVH.]
     A transliteration of the four constants forming the Hebrew
     tetragrammaton or "incommunicable name" 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.
