Are you familiar with the term 'yaweh'?

Hi, are you familiar with the term 'yaweh'?

Looks like another spelling - and language - for "god".

[Torsten]

So you are not familiar with the term? I didn't ask what it means. I wanted to know if you know or use the word.

I think it is not common word , it may refer to religious word.

honestly I didn't see this word before that.

I am not familiar with that term.

I'm familiar with it. But I think the only people in the US who use it are certain sects of Jews.

Catholics also use that word sometimes when referring to God in the Old Testament. It was commonly used in my Catholic religious education when I was a child.

Some Protestants use a phonologically distorted form of the word Yaweh, which is "Jehovah".

Ahmm... here you are wrong. I just don't know where Torsten is going with this.

With my first answer, I just was happy to recognize this odd word at all. So I told him.
