Tetragrammaton. The technical term for the four-lettered Hebrew name of God הוי' (i.e. YHWH or JHVH). Because of its sacred character, from
c.300 BC the Jews tended to avoid uttering it when reading Scripture and substituted ‘Adonai’ (i.e. the Hebrew word for ‘Lord’), whence the rendering Kúpioς of the LXX,
Dominus of the
Vulgate, and ‘the LORD’ in most English Bibles. When
vowel points were put into Hebrew MSS those of ‘Adonai’ were inserted into the letters of the Tetragrammaton, and since the 16th cent. the bastard word ‘Jehovah’, obtained by fusing the vowels of the one word with the consonants of the other, has become established. The original pronunciation is commonly thought to have been ‘Yahweh’ or ‘Jahveh’; both these forms (nowadays mostly the former) are found in scholarly works.
