Hypertext Webster Gateway: "YHVH"

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 ``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.

From WordNet (r) 1.7 (wn)

YHVH
n : a name for the Old Testament God as transliterated from the
Hebrew YHVH [syn: {Yahweh}, {YHWH}, {Yahwe}, {Yahveh}, {YHVH},
{Yahve}, {Wahvey}, {Jahvey}, {Jahweh}, {Jehovah}, {JHVH}]
