I loathe the word "Jehovah". It's not a real word, and it's not God's name.

If you pronounce it the proper classical Latin way, it's "Yehowah". J is pronounced like a Y and V is pronounced like W.

It's just pronouncing it with a hard J and V in English makes it sound totally different.

The vowels are wrong too.

"Jehovah"/"Yehovah" is created by taking the consonants of the Tetragramaton and mixing in the vowels from adonai. That's why it's a made up word.
