Yeshu, Yehoshua, or Yeshua

[ScorpioSniper2]

I see what you mean. There is an ayin in the name of the Messiah. A lot of people have stated that alef has no sound and that there is no "w" sound in Hebrew. Alef is so commonly used that I don't see how it couldn't have a sound. It is the Hebrew/Aramaic "a" and is pronounced as such. And base on what I've read, ancient Hebrew and Syriac both pronounce vav with a "w" sound because it used to be "waw". Many Jews write the Tetragramaton as YHVH (Yahveh), when it would actually have been pronounced according to YHWH (Yahweh).
