{{Trinitarian challenge|Jehovah|The name Jehovah means "the existing One", and not "the existing Three" or "the co-existing Three".}}
This Name of God is considered Holy by the Jews, and therefore is never spoken.  Instead of adding vowels to the Hebrew consonants yod (י), he (ה), vav (ו), and he (ה) - Hebrew is written from right to left, while English is written from left to right - most Jews will pronounce "adonay" (my Lord) or "hashem" (the Name) when confronted with this word.
