I have seen a few Messianics who insert Yah into places in Hebrew words where they linguistically cannot appear. Can you explain this for me, and why these people might be doing it?
Those who place a high emphasis on the Divine Name YHWH in the independent Messianic community, often among Sacred Name Only proponents, frequently believe that most Hebrew words beginning with a yud (y) or a y should have the syllable Yah in it. While there are Hebrew words where linguistically the syllable Yah (hy) does appear, it certainly does not appear in all Hebrew words beginning with a yud. You have every right to challenge those who insert Yah into words where it does not appear, asking those who do so where they received their Hebrew training and what their justification is for doing so. If they say that they are not trained in Hebrew, then you probably have your answer.
