Waw narrates: 'I did my KCPE in 2001, passed well, was called to Kamusinga High School but since I come from a christian family, my parents wanted me to become a priest and not to play football. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a 2009 first-person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.It is the sixth installment in the Call of Duty series and the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing the storyline. A unique feature of Biblical Hebrew is the use of the waw-conversant or the waw-consecutive form of a verb in a narrative, as in these passages from Genesis. For example, the word in line 2:22 is וַיִּבֶן - and he built, the waw consecutive of בָּנָה - banah, to build.

Concern over 627 ballots cast in election. 'The anomalies in that election gave rise to a real question as to its integrity, and was in the best interest of WAW as a company to find out what had. BMW confirms production of its i8 plug-in hybrid sports car will end next month, nearly six years after it was introduced in a big way to the German automaker's lineup.

The Hebrew word for a peg is 'waw'.

Name: Waw
Sound: w, ow, uw (This letter is both a consonant and a vowel)

The remaining three consonants, He, Waw, and Yodh are sometimes pronounced and sometimes
silent, being used in conjunction with vowels. When they are pronounced, their pronunciation is
like that of their English equivalents. He, h; Waw, w; and Yodh, y. In some systems of
transliteration the Waw is called Vav and pronounced 'v' because of past German influence on
Hebrew studies. If, however, these letters are used as vowels, the long vowel resulting is always
(and only then) marked with a circumflex accent ^. Examples will be given below.

All double consonants (those marked in Hebrew by a doubling dot in the middle of the letter) are
simply written twice in the transliteration.

Waw is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet (aleph-beyt).

The numerical value of Waw is 6.

The character associated with Waw is the Hook.

The sound of Waw is 'w' or 'v' as in 'Wine' or 'Vine'.
Modern Hebrew uses this letter as a 'v' sound while
Biblical Hebrew uses this letter as a 'w' sound.

Hebrew does not have vowels but a system has been
developed for the beginning reader to indicate the
vowel sound using vowel points.

The Waw (Vav) is the only Hebrew letter used at times
to indicate the vowel sound.

The Waw with a dot (dagesh) above it turns the letter
into a vowel called holem. It has the sound of a long 'o'
as in 'Lord'.

The Waw with a dot (dagesh) inside the hook turns the
letter into a vowel called shureq. It has the sound of
'oo' as in Truth.

Yahweh or Yahveh (vah)?

So what is the proper pronunciation of the Hebrew w (waw) in Yahweh's
Name? A few think the waw should have the pronunciation of the v; that the letter
should be called 'vav,' which would make the sacred Name 'Yahveh' or Yahvah.'
They point to Bibles lacking modern scholarship that show the Name in one of these
forms.

It is true that a few Bibles indeed spell the sacred Name in English with a v.
Centuries ago this might have been proper, as the v, like a few other English letters, had
variant pronunciations and had not become as fixed as today. The early Bible was
published using either the letter u or the v to represent the Hebrew letter w (waw). The
letter u and v were often used interchangeably because of their equivalency. In the
original 1611 version of the Bible the u and v are not differentiated.

It was not until the dictionary was published that a decided difference was made
between the v and u. Later the w was added ('double u'). The u, v, and w occur
together in our alphabet, making the 21st, 22nd, 23rd letters of the English alphabet,
respectively. This fact is more than coincidence. It shows the relationship a common
derivation (just as the J follows the I, to which it is related).

‘Waw; Considered a Vowel

Biblical Hebrew is a soft Hebrew known also as Sephardic or Temple
Hebrew. Biblical Hebrew pronounces the w (the W in YHWH) as waw, or as u or w.
Bagster's Helps to Bible Study reads on page 238, 'The a, h, w, and y are called
vowel letters, as having been originally used to represent vowels, and they still
frequently serve as vowels in combination with the points…Of these a represented the
sound a; w o and u; y e and i; and h a, e and o final, but not i and u.'

When Did Call Of Duty Waw Come Out

In his book How the Hebrew Language Grew (p. 28), author Edward
Horowitz points out that there are three Hebrew letters which when spoken hastily,
rapidly, or excitedly are slurred or dropped because they were weak and apparently
unimportant. The interesting point is these letters are all used to make the sacred Name:
the yothe = y; he = h; and waw =w.

It is the waw (w) upon which we wish to concentrate as it is central to the
correct and proper pronunciation of the Name. Author Horowitz shows a number of
words in the English in which the equivalent (w) is often silent, such as 'answer, sword,
law, two, write, etc.' He emphasizes that anciently; it was not a 'vee' sound.

'…the sound of w a long time ago wasn't 'vav' at all but 'w' and 'w' is
weak…The Yemenite Jews of Arabia who retain an ancient, correct, and pure
pronunciation of Hebrew still pronounce the w as 'w' –as does Arabic, the close sister
language of Hebrew,' pp. 29-30.

The Berlitz Hebrew Self-Teacher on page 73 reveals: 'The Hebrew
alphabet forms its vowels by a system of ‘dots' under the consonants, as we have seen
in the introduction. But in current Hebrew writing ‘dots' are seldom used.
Therefore…we shall drop the ‘dots' from this lesson on. There are, however, four
letters which can be used as vowels. h and a may have the vowel sound of ah or eh, w
that of oo or oh, and y of ee or eh.'

Mark and Rogers' A Beginners Handbook To Biblical Hebrew on page 7
reads: 'Originally Hebrew had no written vowels; the following consonants, however,
were often used to indicate long vowels: a, h, w, y.'

The yothe = y, he = h, and waw = w, which are used in Yahweh's Name are
understood as being consonants which can be merged into vowels. Vowel sounds are
spoken with the mouth open.

A Simple Approach to Old Testament Hebrew by EKS Pub. Co. states on
page 9: '…The Hebrew letter waw w can function as a consonant or a vowel. When
the waw is a consonant it sounds like w, as in water, and usually has a vowel sign under
it…When the waw functions as a vowel it has the sound of o as in row. With a dot
above it, the waw sounds like o as in row: w. With a dot in its center, the waw sounds
like oo as in pool. w Note: This dot in the center of waw is not a daghesh. Usually the
waw is not both a vowel and a consonant at the same time. When a waw functions as
a vowel, sounded o or oo, it does not have the sound of w as in water. The y, like
waw, can be both vowel and consonant.'

Fagnani and Davidson's Hebrew Primer and Grammar states on page 10:
'The four letters a, h, w, y may lose their consonantal force and be merged into
vowels.'

Sephardic vs. Ashkenazic Hebrew

In explaining the Hebrew language, Menahem Mansoor in Biblical Hebrew
points out on page 33: 'There are, generally speaking, two main pronunciations: the
Ashkenazi, or German, originated by Central and Eastern European Jews and carried
to all countries to which those Jews have emigrated (Western Europe, America, etc.):
and the Sephardi, or Spanish, used by the Jews of Spanish or Portuguese stock in
Europe and America and also by Jews from Oriental countries. In all universities and
throughout Israel, the Sephardi pronunciation has been adopted, since it is generally
believed that this is the pronunciation nearest to the original…'

A response to a query about the proper pronunciation of waw/ vav, EKS
Publishing responded, 'In modern Hebrew it is pronounced VAV. Since our materials
are geared for a predominantly Jewish audience, we give this pronunciation in our wall
charts and most other publications. However, in Biblical times the letter was
pronounced WAW. Because our book, A Simple Approach to O.T. Hebrew, is
written for a Christian audience, we have given this Biblical Hebrew pronunciation for
WAW and for a few other letters.'

Other sources relate that since the turn of the century the Jews returning to
Palestine have been mostly from Eastern Europe. Thus, the heavy influence of
Ashkenazic or Germanic pronunciation of vav instead of the Sephardic or biblical waw
has become dominant in present-day Judaism, and is referred to as
'Modern-Sephardic.' However, the Temple or Biblical Hebrew demands waw as the
ancient and more correct pronunciation.

A number of Hebrew grammars for English students state that the Hebrew w
(waw) is one of the weak letters, which often takes on the force of a vowel, along with
the other letters of Yahweh's Name. Here Yahweh has taken the lesser letters of the
Hebrew alphabet and made them into the strongest in the universe by employing them in
His Name!

V Once Equivalent to U and W

History reveals that the pronunciation was Yahweh. Clement of Alexandria
transliterated the name into Greek in the form Iaoue. Theodoret used Iabe. According
to the New Bible Dictionary (p. 478), the Greek b represented the v. The early
writers and translators obviously used the letter v for the Tetragrammaton in English
because it was then used as an equivalent for the Hebrew waw (w) and was considered
a vowel.

The prestigious Oxford English Dictionary notes the following on 'V': 'The
22nd letter of the modern English and the 20th of the ancient Roman alphabet, was in
the latter an adoption of the early Greek vowel-symbol V, now also represented by U
and Y (q.v.), but in Latin was employed also with the value of the Greek digamma
(viz.w), to which it corresponds etymologically.' Webster's New World Dictionary
concurs that the digamma had the sound of the English w. ('V', p. 1565)

By the time the Hebrew Tetragrammaton was transliterated into English as
YHVH, the 'v' had either the sound of 'v' as in victory, or, more often, sounded as a
'u.' There was no 'w' or 'u' in early English. Both these letters were latecomers to
the alphabet, developing from the v, even though the sound was more like the 'oo' in
moon.

In Latin, Julius is spelled 'Jvlivs,' the 'v' pronounced like a 'u.' In
Anglo-Saxon the Germanic tongues, the Latin v was understood to mean uu or u, and
so we get the w, made up of double v's (double u's'). Even today the German v is
pronounced like a w: Volkswagen = 'Wolkvagen.'

The 'u' and 'v' were also used interchangeably in English. Take the word
'upon.' It was often spelled 'vpon.' There was no hard-and fast-rule to guide the
proper spelling in English when to use a 'v' or 'u.' It was only when the growing
vocabulary made necessary the need for a dictionary that a determination was made on
a word's precise spelling and pronunciation. Thus a word would consistently be found
in the same place in the alphabetized dictionaries such as 'unto' under 'u' and 'vigil'
under 'v.'

At the time the venerated King James Bible was written, the 'v' and 'u' were
being used interchangeably. The 'w' came upon the scene a bit later. Almost any
encyclopedia or dictionary will show that there was little differentiation made in early
writings.

Four Sacred Vowels

Josephus tell us that the High Priest wore a miter or hat as a part of his habit,
and the miter was inscribed with FOUR VOWELS (YHWH) (Wars, 5:5:7 {235}).
(The 'v' is the erroneous 'Yahveh' or 'Yahvah' is consonantal and not a vowel
sound.)

About the ninth century B.C.E., Hebrew writing began to use certain letters for
vowel sounds. The fact that the four letters of the Tetragrammaton are four vowels
further substantiates the correct pronunciation, Yahweh!

Many people have the false notion that the Hebrew alphabet consists only of
consonants. They fail to realize that the vowels were understood and inserted when
read. Remember, the entire Old Testament is written in Hebrew and without vowels
between consonants. Yet it is read from Genesis 1:1 to Malachi 4:6 and understood
without vowels!

Even today people familiar with the Hebrew language can easily read it in the
consonantal text alone. Lock and unlock. A modern Hebrew newspaper is printed without vowel points,
and those readers for whom it is intended can read it without difficulty.

When Did Waw Come Out

Every language uses vowels in order to be spoken, as vowels are the sounds
uttered with the mouth open.

The Old Testament of the Bible was written in Hebrew and some few parts in
Aramaic. A growing number of scholars are realizing that the greater part of the New
Testament, or even all of it, was written in Hebrew. (Send for our free ministudy, Was
the New Testament Originally Greek?)

It is obvious, therefore, that our best source of the proper pronunciation of the
sacred Name is to be found in the Hebrew texts, as this is where the true Name
Yahweh, hwhy, was originally given.

In Summary

From the ancient Hebrew we have learned that the waw in the Tetragrammaton
is a vowel sound pronounced as a u. Only later was the vee sound applied to the waw
(becoming vav) popularized by European Jews known as Ashkenazi.

The V itself developed from the Greek upsilon with a U or OO sound. In Latin
the V took on the sound of the Greek digamma (W) and denoted the w sound in Old
English. Only in Middle English do we start seeing the V taking on the consonant sound
of 'vee.' Therefore, to pronounce the Creator's Name properly, using the proper
vowel form, we must call on 'Yahweh,' His majestic Name!
