Who knows what dat name was and how it was pronounced since dat language didn't have vowels, da people wha spoke died da language died later people added vowel points but not to dat word sep fa dem who made it Adonai. Dat language was reCONstructed using Greek, Arabic, prolly Syriac by foreign people so who knows! And the pronounciation woulda been different from region to region. Yah, Jah, Ia, Ea or all variations of da same word which are prolly variations of RA with a rolling R sound. Elohim is plural, The Most High God (El Elyon) was a Canaanite diety dat Melechizidec worshipped as he was da preist King of Canaan not Israel. The Canaanites was the hebrews according to Joseph when he was locked up in Egypt That burnin bush Sanai god was a Medianite God, Bethel (Beit El) is house of EL (El Canaanite god)not house of God, dig dey play games with translating and transliterating. The closest pronounciation I think to d original if there is a such would prolly b by d Vodun practitioners of Togo and Benin, d Ewe (Evhwe) people who call d power of thunder Yehwe, or sum people of Burma wha call they god Yawah and certain Native Americans had a similar pronounciation.
