YHVH
The above is a transliteration of the sequence of letters in Hebrew, bearing in mind that all Hebrew letters are consonants. What may be more interesting is what this actually means!
It is supposed to be a combination of "He was, is and will be" - i.e. God is eternal.

YEHOVA
In Hebrew, this word is composed of the four Hebrew letters: Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh.
It is pronunciation is similar to the English, except for teh "Y" sound instead of "J".
BTW, the word itself and even the sequence of teh four letters are considered sacred by orthodox Jews, and are never uttered, not even when reading from the "Torah".

YHVH
Thanks for your kind compliments :)
Sorry to be pedantic, but the above spelling is correct. The letter W is a late (i.e. Early Medieval) invention. V is the equivalent of the Hebrew Vav, as it was in Classical times. Today, W is usually transliterated into Hebrew as Vav Vav: hardly surprising, as W itself is nothing but VV.
