It is a common misconception that Hebrew writers were ignorant of vowels. Vowels were commonly omitted from everything early writers wrote, because the were too poor to include unnecessary letters. The money there were able to save by omitting explicit vowels could be used for food or even more papyrus. So JHVH is a well-spelled word at all. All Hebrew words have vowels, neatly tucked between the consonants. Today scribes can afford vowels, or at least vowel points. JHVH is actually pronounced (although pious Jews don't pronounce it ever) Yahveh, or Jehovah. Hard to tell whether the first vowel is an "a" or "schwa."
