It means it’s violative of the language’s rules of combining phonemes (letter sounds), even though its humanly possible to pronounce... Again, please actually read the part about “brd.” Are any of your Hebrew “experts” actually Hebrews? Do any of them actually *speak* Hebrew conversationally?

You say,
“Ask someone who knows Hebrew, and you’ll find that YHW and HWH are both not possible letter combinations.”

Who, besides yourself, says they are not as in the Tetragrammaton?

Yes, I read “bird, brd” comments and see no revlevance to the vowel pointing of the Tetragrammaton, transliterated as YHWH, and which is usually read as Yahweh.
Whether Ginsburg was converstional in Hebrew I don't know but I dare say he more than qualifies as an expert.

You mention the name “nethanyahu”, This is from Strong’s Dictionary:

“Nthanyah
neth-an-yaw’
or Nthanyahuw {neth-an-yaw’-hoo}; from ‘nathan’ (5414) and ‘Yahh’ (3050); given of Jah; Nethanjah, the name of four Israelites:—Nethaniah.”

One can see that the name does not include Hebrew for “God” but rather the shortened name form, Yah (iah) or Jah.
