ADDITIONAL NOTES
Yah (or Jah), a shortened form of the name Yahweh, is also used in the bible.
In most bibles it can be found in the word Allelujah('Praise Jah') in Revelation chapter 19. Some bibles also show this word in the Old Testament, where 'Jah' (26 times), or 'Allelujah'(24 times) occurs in the Hebrew text. e.g. in Exodus 15:2 (Darby, and in Young's Literal Translation), and in Psalms 149 & 150.
In addition, It also seems that all English bibles retain this shortened form 'jah' when rendering bible names such as Elijah ('My God is Jah') into English.
