Actually, the unspeakable name of God is the basis for a very
important pun in the New Testament.  When Jesus is asked
who he is, he replies ``I am who you say I am.''  In aramaic,
this puns to ``I am Yahweh''.  In the eyes of the Sanhedrin, this
was the ultimate blaspheme.  The pun was undoubtedly intentional.
It's too bad that this particular pun doesn't translate.
