" It's no wonder Saint Jerome (340?-420), who published the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible, admitted: "When we translate the Hebrew into Latin, we are sometimes guided by conjecture.""
He lived during the time of your so called inspired translators of the Hebrew Dialect, yet and all one who was esteemed highly in the RCC doctrine was quoted as saying he translated based on conjecture, which means to throw together;
" from com- "together" + jacere "to throw."
As for Saint Jerome, I'm not very well versed in his writings, but I will say that I enjoyed much of his that I did read, but not all of it (e.g. Jerome was, at a certain point in his life, critical of, or hostile to, the full canonicity of books like Sirach, Wisdom, Tobit, Judith and the 2 books of Macabees, which I disagree with).
Now let me ask you a serious question, do you hold the teachings of Saint Jerome dear to you?
The Arabic is comprised of Hebrew and Greek, that's where you get those ee's and oo's from, Ishmael never spoke this dialect! As for the name Zachar how can you plausibly argue the pronunciation within the paradigm of Hebrew if there are no certain records according to you of the pronunciation of the Archaic Hebrew? Just conjectures!
As for the name Zacharyah, I have no problem with that pronunciation. For example, in Arabic there are 'oo' and 'ee' sounds, but that doesn't mean that every single Arabic name has to employ them. So too with Hebrew names. While most side with Zechar or Z'char for that name, it can be plausibly argued, within the paradigm of Hebrew, that the verb was in the 3rd person, perfect, singular, hence Zachar.
Zacharyah ? Are you serious? if the pronunciation of the Hebrew has these ee,u,o,oo, as you and Tak claim, what happened to Zacharyah's name, where are the e's,o's,oo's.u's, at?
