***Each syllable is one full exhalation. If you want to observe the prohibition of pronouncing the Name of God, make sure not to pronounce all three syllables in one breath.*** Direct your eyes to the יהו"ה that appears just to the left of the line that divides the circle from top to bottom. Notice how there are vowels under the letters. Each vowel is one whole exhalation. So, the first vocalization requires three breaths: 1) First Exhalation: Yo ( יֹ ). 2) Second Exhalation: Ho ( הֹ ) 3) Third Exhalation: Vah ( וָ ) Now, look underneath that same יהו"ה. You can see that the letter Yod appears there four times. Each Yod has a different vowel: יָ (Ya), יֵ (Ye, like "hey!"), יִ (Yi, like "yeeee"), יֻ (Yu, like "you"). These Yods are the first letters of the name יהו"ה. Each one stands for the whole name יהו"ה, so after vocalizing the Yod, we will vocalize the other letters of the name, just like the first name above. All together, it goes like this: **(Remember that each syllable is one whole exhalation. Don't say all three in one breath if you don't want to say the name. Its hard not to say it!)** 1) Yo-Ho-Vah (Since each syllable is a breath, it takes three breaths to say each line). 2) Ya-Ho-Vah 3) Ye-Ho-Vah 4) Yi-Ho-Vah 5) Yu-Ho-Vah Once you've done all of these (15 or י"ה breaths), you've said one full column of the Circular Tenfold Name. There are ten names altogether, for a total of 150 breaths, so that you are praising יהו"ה like in Psalm 150. Five of the columns contain the Name in feminine. The other five are masculine. The masculine ones end with a Veh ( וֶ ) rather than a Vah ( וָ ), like this: 1) Yo-Ho-Veh 2) Ya-Ho-Veh 3) Ye-Ho-Veh 4) Yi-Ho-Veh 5) Yu-Ho-Veh
