"Yahuwah" or some close variation may indeed be correct, but I think you error in the belief that only people who have the Set-Apart Spirit are going to understand the true pronunciation. The ramifications of your statement would mean that anyone who doesn't subscribe to your particular "preference" is without the Spirit... but I personally know many men and women who most certainly walk and teach in the Spirit of YHVH who pronounce His Name in many different ways... "Yahweh" being the most common of course. That is not to say that the Spirit will not or is not revealing the true pronunciation. I believe He most certainly will... but suspecting He will use Eliyahu and/or Messiah to restore the completeness of that knowledge (where there is no longer any doubt). By the way, this article's purpose was not to remove all doubt.
"Yeshua" is not the acronym of which you refer. "Yeshu" (without the ayin) is the suspected derogatory acronym that Talmudists use, but there is much debate surrounding that whole subject. "Yeshua" is simply a shortened version of "Yehoshua". The letter or sound of the "hey" has been removed from many Hebrew names, not just Yehoshua.
The practice of shortening names is not that uncommon... even in our modern culture. For example, William may be shortened to Will. Jason may be shortened to Jas or Jay. Christy or Christopher may be shortened to Chris.
There is nothing wrong with using the term Yeshua. Nor is there anything wrong with using "Yah"... which is actually and probably more safe and less divisive in most Messianic groups, but people should study and come to their own conclusions... but be courtesy of those who may have a different view... and even be willing to adapt their view in light of what evidence is available.
Leslie, could you post just a few of the verses where Hebrew names using the prefix of "Yahu-" have been transliterated into the English as such (siting the translation/version as well)? You made the claim that it appears 27 times.
