[Heb-NACO] Transliterating yud heh vav heh

[Miriam Gloger]

According to the Hebrew cataloging manual:

http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/118835961/HCM%20RDA%202017rev.pdf?force_download=1

Names of the Divinity
 Abbreviations representing the Tetragrammaton are romanized as they appear:
ALA-LC Romanization:
י' .Y
 ד' .D
ה' .H
 When an abbreviation for the Divine Name appears in one of the first five
words of a
bibliographic title it may be necessary to make one or more alternative
title added entry since the
pronunciation and hence the roman spelling of the Name, when given in full,
may vary with
differing interpretations or frames of reference.
