the Berasit Hebrew Dictionary

אהיה

ahyah is the typical spelling for “to be”, “is”, “was” which we are later told is the root of the name Yahweh/Jehovah

אהיה (ahyah) is the typical spelling for “to be”, but the word used in Genesis 1:2 is (hytah) היתה

These are not the same word and should not be lumped together in the same Strong Number

These seem to be three separate words, implying that:

1. <1961> needs to be split → suggest 91961 for hytah
2. Jehovah does not in fact mean “I am”

this word may or may not be related to hytah היתה, the word used in Genesis 1:2 to describe how the Earth was

“and the earth was formless and void”
