What are the qualities of the tetragrammaton?
A: The tetragrammaton, YHWH (modern Hebrew, 'YHVH'), is the ancient Hebrew name for God. During the post-Exilic period, Jews ceased to say the name aloud, so its correct pronu…nciation became lost, but it is believed to have been pronounced as Yahweh.

Other possibilities include 'He will be'. (MORE)
