Mentions that  the exact pronunciation of YHWH is unknown (as do many others).

YHWH in His Word : [Proverbs 25:2]
"The honor of Elohim is to hide a word; and the honor of sovereigns to probe a word."

Chapter 1 - Name
Your name O LORD is forever, your fame O LORD is for generation after generation. Psalms 135:13
Biblical Names
In our modern culture a name is nothing more than an identifier, usually chosen by our parents because they like the sound of the name or it is the name of a favorite relative or ancestor. This is not true of the ancient cultures, such as the Hebrews, where a name was a representation of whom the individual was, based on his character and function.
One of the major differences between our Western culture and the Eastern culture of the ancient Hebrews is how someone or something is described. The Hebrew was not so concerned with the appearance of someone or something, as he was with its function. A Western mind would describe a common pencil according to its appearance, something like; “it is yellow and about eight inches long.” An Eastern mind describes the same pencil according to its function, something like; “I write and erase words with it.” Notice that the Eastern description uses the verbs “write” and “erase,” while the Western description uses the adjectives “yellow” and “long.” Because of Hebrew’s form of functional descriptions,
His Name is One
verbs are used much more frequently then adjectives in the Bible.
A good example of the Hebrew language’s functional descriptions can be found in the word “lya” (ayil). This word, depending on the translation, is shown as an oak tree, ram, mighty men or a post as can be seen in the following verses from the King James Version.
“And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”
Genesis 22:13 (KJV)
“He made also posts of three-score cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.” Ezekiel 40:14 (KJV)
“For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.”
Isaiah 1:29 (KJV)
5

“Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.”
Exodus 15:15 (KJV)
