I thought this might be the root of your question about a J sound in ancient Hebrew. I resently heard the explaination of the 'name'. The first part of this mistery starts in the fact that paleo-hebrew and even early forms of modern hebrew is a language that is written in all consonants [i.e. no vowels where written down] {an example using english would be: N TH BGNNG GD CRTD TH HVNS ND TH RTH.} However because people began mispronouncing the words, vowel marks where introduced and where placed under the consonants as jots and tiddles. In the Jewish/Hebrew religion the name YHVH [YHWH] in considered the Holy name of God and it is/was taboo to speak this name out loud. So even when they wrote down the word of God whenever they wrote the word YHVH [YHWH] they put the vowels sounds for Elohym under YHVH [YHWH] this resulted (at a later date during translation from Hebrew to english) in the creation of a new name for God, Yehaveh, Jehaveh or Jahovah.
I'm not certain if they used the name Elohym they could have used the vowels for Emanuel as well. I just remeber that they used the vowel sounds from a different name.
