Ways to say it

“jehovah” in Arabic
Arabic	Romanization (Wiktionary)	IPA	Note
يهوه	yahwa	/jah.wah/ /ja.hu.wah/	masculine
يَهْوَه	yahwah		masculine

This term is a transliteration of the Masoretic vocalization of the Tetragrammaton (name).

يَهْوَه (yahwah) and يهوه (yahwa) are different ways to represent the name.

The phrase is masculine.

The pronunciation is /jah.wah/. It has two syllables.

The word يهوه is written using the Arabic alphabet to mimic a Hebrew name that is traditionally considered too sacred to pronounce aloud in some traditions.
Unlike many Arabic names that denote attributes like 'the Merciful', this term functions purely as a phonetic container for the Hebrew sound.
The word is an example of a 'loanword' that carries no inherent Arabic root, meaning it cannot be used to form Arabic verbs or adjectives.
