Understanding the correct pronunciation of 'Waw' and 'Ha'

There are many among the Messianics who interpret the 4 letter Tetragrammation YHUH as Yahweh and the name of our Savior as Yahshua. They firstly misinterpret the tetragrammation from Paleo Hebrew as YHWH instead of YHUH because they believe the letter Uau to be WAW or a VAV

No one has a problem to call him Yah as this poetic name of Yah is in the Psalms and also in the word HalaluYah!

Psa 150:6  Let all that have breath HALALUYah. HALALUYah! 

They even go to the extent of ignoring the 'U' in the word 'HalaluYah' and would just write it as HalalYah because HalalWaYah wouldn't make sense. They do the same to Mashiyach's name and write it as YahShua ignoring the Uu in his name or else they would have to write and pronounce it as Yahwashua. They fail to realize that the word 'shua' which means 'cry out' also has the 'uu' in it so the question is why don't they pronounce it as Yahshawa and why Yahshua? 

They would also twist the letter 'ha' to say it's 'eh' because 'eh' is masculine they say. By the same logic those who say 'eh is masculine and that the letter 'ha' has to be pronounced as 'eh' and therefore his name has to be Yahweh why don't use the same logic in his poetic name? They still say Yah instead of 'Yeh'. They can't say 'Yeh' because there is evidence in scripture that his poetic name is 'Yah'

Psa 68:4 Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name. Raise up a highway for Him Who rides through the deserts, By His Name Yah/ H3050 יה, And exult before Him. 

Yet they would put 'eh' at the end of his name for the letter 'ha'

They would quickly say 'Yehudah' for 'Judah' whereas the root word in 'Yahudah' is 'yadah' H3034. Hence 'Yahudah' is the correct spelling and pronunciation of the son of Yaaqob. If you drop the da i.e. the dalet from Yahu(d)ah you get 'Yahuah' the creators name.

There was an elder from the Assembly of Yahweh ministry who said he prefers to use 'Yadah' for the tribe Yahudah as he says the Paleo Hebrew didn't have the vowels in them. I knew he was saying this to avoid saying the waw/vav in it or else he had to say it as 'Yahwadah' and yet he fails to the see the 'ha' in the word he pronounced was a 'ha' and not 'eh'.  He said 'Yadah' not 'Yadeh' for Yahudah, now the question is isn't 'Yahudah' a masculine name? So their rules of grammar falls flat and its a simple way of dogging around. He posted a Paleo hebrew chart which had the 'ha' written as 'ha' and then he posted a chart later with the 'ha' as 'eh'.  When I questioned him on his chart discrepancy and  why he uses 'u' in 'shua' and 'ha' in 'Yadah' he blocked me because his members were on his post doing amen to him and it was obvious he wanted to conceal this from his assembly members or they would question him and he wouldn't have answers.

Also those who say יְהוּדָה yehûdâh why don't you say Yehwadah? since you press on to say its waw not uu/oo sound? There are so many names with Yahu in it and you fancy your pronunciations as and where it suits to cover up to show the name Yahweh is correct. Stop following men and do your research yourself.

Just to reiterate they say Yahshua/Yeshua for our Savior's name, why don't they say Yahshawa for the Savior's name and not 'shua' at the end which has the 'waw' ? This is evidence that the w is a latest invention and uu/oo was the sound of the letter uau. The letter VV and W is double U/uu.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upsilon

Upsilon (/ˈʌpsɪlɒn, ˈjuːp-, ˈuːp-, ˈʊp-, -lən/; or UK: /ʌpˈsaɪlən, juːp-/;[1][2][3][4] uppercase Υ, lowercase υ; Greek: ύψιλον ýpsilon [ˈipsilon]) is the 20th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, 'Υʹ has a value of 400. It is derived from the Phoenician waw Phoenician waw.svg.

Please note Wikipedia says 'waw' above but under pronunciation they state correctly that in early Greek it was pronounced as oo (u). Please see below:

In early Greek it was pronounced like English oo [u]. In Classical Greek, it was pronounced like French 'u' or German ü, i.e., [y] (a sound that is not found in most dialects of English). This was the case at least until the year 1030AD.[6] In Modern Greek it is pronounced like continental i or English ee, [i], and in diphthongs, [f] or [v]. In ancient Greek, it occurred in both long and short versions, but this distinction has been lost in Modern Greek.

The Greek's dropped the stem from the Phoenician 'Y' and wrote it as 'U' and Latin wrote it as 'V' but they still pronounced it as 'UU/OO'

The modern letters changed the sound to 'W' and the letter 'W' (double u) was derived from 'UU'

The 22 letters of Abary sounds are consonants not vowels. Below is a chart in Paleo Hebrew with the consonants sounds
