Notes:
1 "Collection" 2
These are the English stylings, of course; cp. other languages. Overall, there
was 1) an attempt to translate many of the Hebrew titles; 2) names were attempts at
transliteration to languages that just do not have the same phonetic values. (Ever
pronounce Ý - h
for a Westerner? Phlegmatic taunts usually follow.) It is interesting that at one
time in English, including the time period of the King James version (1611), "J"
or "V" sounds were not used. These same are absent from Latin, Greek, and
biblical Hebrew. In the KJV 1611 one sees Ieremiah, Iesus, Iohn, Dauid, and Iehouah (sic).
And indeed, these have Y and W sounds, which as you have seen above (see also Names), give names much closer to their original Hebrew forms.
