I'm trying to learn Hebrew and came up on the unutterable name of G-d and had a question about it. I know that when we come up on Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey that it is proper to say Adonai. I also know that in ancient times that the Levitacal Priest was the only one that could utter that name, and only after the atonement sacrifice at Yom Kippur. Is the unutterable name of G-d unutterable because it can not be formed by the mouth, or is it that you can only say the word "YeHoVaH" (Jehovah) from a purified mouth? Please don't think this question is out of disrespect. It's just that that's what I seen as I was meditating on it. Mostly it's out of just not knowing.....
