THE ISSUE OF HOW TO TRANSLATE THE HEBREW TETRAGRAMMATON INTO ENGLISH

The letter J was originally the consonantal I and used for both the Y sound and the more popular J sound, which is why the letter J has a Y sound in some English words, such as Hallelujah, Jaeger, and Jehovah. The letter V was used for both the U and V sounds and the distinction was not made until the Middle Ages, and the English letter W is a descendant of the letter V, and V is used for the W sound in some Medieval English words, such as Jehovah.

It is argued the J-E-H-O-V-A-H is a more accurate translation of the Tetragrammaton than L-O-R-D or G-O-D in all upper-case letters as it is usually rendered in the KJV. The problem with that argument is there is no completely accurate way to translate the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into another language.
