[Heb-NACO] ehyeh, right?

[Barry Walfish]

In this case, the native speaker's pronunciation follows the path of least resistance. It's easier to say eheyeh than ehyeh, so the vowels shift. This happens in a lot of cases. I don't think there's any question that the sheva is nah. But I've been surprised before. But for romanization purposes we should follow the grammar rules, no?

There is no discussion on the Nikud of the word, but how to pronounce it.
The question is - is it a שווא נח or a שווא נע.?
The modern pronunciation is Eheyeh. Native Hebrew speakers would go for Eheyeh.

Check ES under Hayah היה page 380 on the right side of the page.

I also checked Rav milim by Yaakov Choueka (1996) and there there is a hataf under the He

Folks:

alef heh yud heh: my sense of this, which is apparently supported by the various dictionaries, is that this is romanized as "ehyeh" ; there's a sheva under the first heh However, there is not consensus on OCLC; about 20% of the entries I saw had "eheyeh," and many of these are from reliable institutions.

Ehyeh, right?  If I'm wrong, why?
