Look, somebody first used the word 'Jahve' to designate the deity. The Bible calls that somebody 'Moses'. The issue under discussion here is the word. It is clear that this word designates something completely different from the typical anthropomorphic god. It seems that you are trying to cut discussion about the word by raising doubts as to the traditionally ascribed source of that word. It appears to be wilful misdirection.

On the question of Moses, I personally favor the theory of a Moses-Akhenaten connection.
