I think most academics vowelize it as Yahweh or Yahveh

Maybe so but academics are mistaken most of the time, especially when it come to Hebraic Spiritualness . Its YA-HU-AH.

Actually a lot of the time they're not. They're not driven by gematriac agendas, they know the roots and semitic cognates better than most religious figures, and they're more honest about text gaps, additions, and pseudepigrapha than religious figures. Of course they're going to miss the mark sometimes like anyone, but it's easiest to be level when you don't have anything to defend.

And sometimes the texts are simply ambiguous and there's no way to know for sure, which is why you get such wild variations between translations.

Your mileage may, of course, vary.

Of course one may see them in that light, if one's not connected to the source. But we could build an entire world upon the differences between Spiritual, & Religious.
But its understandable of the level of Cognitive dissonance, for the world has cultivated it to be so. But I use premium so I always get better Hwy, than City!!!
