Assuming there are no nekudot, would it not be presumptuous for a cataloger to claim to know how it would be pronounced.

Hi folks:
I'm cataloging a book right now that has the tetragrammaton in the title.
1) YHVH? This is what the record has
2) Yehovah? My preference
3) Yahveh? As good as any other
4) Or should we use a euphemism,e.g ha-Shem?
I'm not invested in this one and am agnostic as to the outcome, but which form is preferred? The euphemism 'ha-Shem" and "Adonai" are already slotted in the record as added title entries.
