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.

I agree with Aaron, and would advocate for YHVH (subscript dot under V) as the least controversial way to deal with this situation.

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.
