The Anchor Bible Dictionary lɛ wie yɛ saneyitso ni ji “Tetragrammaton lɛ kɛ Kpaŋmɔ Hee Lɛ” shishi akɛ: “Odaseyelii komɛi yɛ ni tsɔɔ akɛ, be ni aŋma Kpaŋmɔ Hee lɛ klɛŋklɛŋ kwraa lɛ, akɛ Tetragrammaton lɛ, ni ji Nyɔŋmɔ Gbɛ́i lɛ, Yahweh, tsu nii yɛ Kpaŋmɔ Momo lɛ mli ŋmalɛi komɛi loo emli ŋmalɛi fɛɛ ní atsɛ yisɛɛ yɛ Kpaŋmɔ Hee lɛ mli lɛ amli.” Woloŋlelɔ George Howard kɛɛ akɛ: “Akɛni no mli lɛ Tetragrammaton lɛ yɛ Bibliai ni yɔɔ Greek wiemɔ mli [Septuajint lɛ] ni ji Ŋmalɛ ni klɛŋklɛŋ afii 100 Ŋ.B.
