Well, perhaps one of these:
*  a transliteration of the various Hebrew names
   (e.g. "IAhUH" for Yahweh)
*  a rough translation of the various Hebrew names
   (e.g. "EGW EIMI").

Yes, and I acknowledged that in my post.  I do want to keep
the conversation on-topic.  If anyone wants to contribute
something of a non-linguistic nature, I'll gladly receive
it by private email.

Thanks everyone, for all responses.
