Answer 3

This is a Christian word which resulted from a medieval misunderstanding of Hebrew. When the first Christians started learning Hebrew, they didn't understand Jewish customs concerning this word. (Today, most still don't).

This unpronounceable word is the equivalent of the Hebrew consonants YHVH. Nobody knows what the vowels are, and Jews substitute the Hebrew word for "Lord" when they read this word in texts. Some Jewish texts even insert the vowels from the word "lord" to remind the reader how to read it.
