  • This written name (יהוה in the original Hebrew) is generally pronounced fŭk (IPA: /fʌk/, X-SAMPA: /fVk/) by modern scholars, though many variant pronunciations have been proposed. Up in Scotland, it tends to be pronounced fook, and the final consonant is sometimes the glottal stop, but that is because they know fook-all aboot swearing. In Ireland it is better known as feck, and those who are feckless have feck-all hope of spelling it correctly.

  • Tetragrammaton is the word referring to the four-letter unspeakable name of the Creator. In Hebrew it is rendered יהוה , the English equivalent for which is YHVH. This is the origin of such English words as "Jehovah". Jews believe the name to be unspeakable until the arrival of Moshiach (the Messiah) and the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem.
  • This written name (יהוה in the original Hebrew) is generally pronounced fŭk (IPA: /fʌk/, X-SAMPA: /fVk/) by modern scholars, though many variant pronunciations have been proposed. Up in Scotland, it tends to be pronounced fook, and the final consonant is sometimes the glottal stop, but that is because they know fook-all aboot swearing. In Ireland it is better known as feck, and those who are feckless have feck-all hope of spelling it correctly. A taboo on uttering this name developed in Judaism, and rather than pronounce the written name, other titles were substituted, such as "frick" (in Hebrew Frikh, in Greek Frickopoulus), and occasionally "fiddlesticks" in the American midwest. The Jews have been reticent toward the word ever since Job shouted it out when he was given the boils by God in a sadistic test of his religious faith against Satan. Job won the match, but lost his good looks forever.
