16:1

Psalms
14:1,2,5
53:1,2,4,5.}

After checking that list, do you really think Masoretes would not have changed Yah to Yeh almost every time it appears as prefix as well?

And in my understanding some Indian American tribes and Siberian Tribes pronounce YHVH Yahuwah (probably got it from the Turks).
More concrete proof can be found from the Middle East, for all Arab tribes pronounce Judah as Al-Yahūd, Turks pronounce it as Yahudiler. And even Muslim Malesia pronounces it as Yahudi (Bahasa Melayu).
They learned the name mainly from Jewish exiles, they pronounce it like that because they do not recard YHWH as sacred name. Over 1 000 000 000 people all around Israel cant be wrong.

You still do not believe me? One little question:
How can you include the pictocraphic YHWH and not see that it is: Hand, Behold, Nail, Behold?
For hand is Yad for sure, behold is Hinneh, and nail is Yathed; therefore His Name is: Ya(Yad)hu(Hinneh)we(Yathed)h(Hinneh) - Yahuweh. The letters 'uwe' can be debated, but letters 'Ya' cannot be debated unless you claim that hand is pronounced Jed, which is not true.

Shalom
