First, it is Dr. Sledge's "theory" that "yahweh" is even a correct pronuciation for anything. Even in ancient Canaanite it is not certain what their vowels were. Further, Torath Mosheh Jews do not use that term you have written nor do we claim it is valid. I even showed why using the Canaanite language in that video I showed you a while back.
In fact, there are Karaite Jews who have a different pronunciation than what you wrote that some of them use.
Third, I already showed how there are huge gaps in the modern understanding of ancient Middle Eastern cultures that no longer exist. I further show, that scholars are clear that the Canaanites were not a unified group and they did not share the same ideas. I also showed that Semetic languages have common root system for how words and languages developed. I also showed that just because a word has a certain sound in one language doesn't mean a similar "sounding" word in another local language has the same meaning.
Again, in order to prove a particular type of connection beyond that you need "proof" and not conjecture.

Click here for Yemenite Hebrew and Samaritan Hebrew then let's talk about how Hebrew Pronucation actually works.

Also, I'm not sure why you seem to disqualify all of Dr. Sledge's credentials.
I disqualified several "statements" he made where he provided no evidence for his statements. I also qualified things he stated that contradicted what you stated in some earlier posts. I have watched the videos you provide a couple of times. Also, because I can read Hebrew and know a few dialects similar to it and I also provided what is known and unknown about ancient Middle Eastern languages and cultures that "no longer exist" I have provided enough reasons why Dr. Sledge's information could be "misunderstood" or "misinterpreted" by someone who a) does not know the languages and b) does not know the cultures he is discussing.
Again, as I stated earlier. If he had to make the same presentation in Hebrew rather than English it would be a whole different discussion.
So, you think that Dr. Sledge is just making stuff up in his video.
As I stated before, he is not making areas that are his theory, conjecture clear. He also not providing proof for some of his claims. He is also placing graphics in areas where said text had no graphics which gives someone ho doesn't know the idea that the graphics are directly connected to what he is talking about. I have also said that if he had to present all of this in Hebrew he would not be able to make some of these claims as he has made them in English.
Sorry, but I don't know what that means, and I would have to watch that video some other time because like you said, there are only so many hours in a day.
Ah. See, if the videos you have referenced don't discuss the Samaritans to the point where you don't know the significance of them only having a Torah and no Tanakh and the Samaritans having another source for ancient Hebrew then said videos have left a HUGE gap in the historical picture.
