.
YHWH the fulcrum, the base and the lever.
YHWH the space and the form and the game.

YHWH the maker, the vessel, the dreamer,
the teller, the namer, the symbol un-named.

YHWH the vision, the vista, the seer.
YHWH the lintel, the door and the frame.

YHWH the lock, the key and the knocker,
the handle, the pause and the knocker again.

YHWH the palm and the fist and the shoulder.
YHWH the sole and the road and the stride.

YHWH the zephyr, the still and the echo.
YHWH the reason, the song and the rhyme..
.

Your poetry speaks clear and well of the omniscience creator.

There is no list long enough.

In the language the Old Testament was written in the vowels are heard but not written. These letters are the consonants in God's name. In English the vowels are most often added in. The current thinking is that the word would literally translate as "I AM THAT I AM" but that is unsure, I think.

Smiles, Kjott.  I wasn't correcting you.  I was answering Kitty-cat's question, but wasn't sure if I was right.  However, it was nice to get the explanation, because I didn't know it, thank you.
