YHWH. Also known as the ineffable name of God. Traditionally not supposed to be

said out loud; or replaced with a gong, cymbal crash or other drum hit to emphasize

that the name of God is beyond our grasp/understanding.

Today it is pronounced "yahweh" pron. yah'weigh ... and has been copted by some

Christian religions as Jehovah.

Pretty good, except for the gong part. If we're talking about the Jewish concept ...

and that's how the question was posed ... then it must be mentioned that you'll never

encounter a gong, cymbal crash, or the like during any Jewish worship. I'm pretty sure

that part must have leaked into the first Answer from some central Asian studies.
