Adonaist
An Adonaist (Heb. Lord, a scriptural title of the Supreme Being) among critics, a sect or party who maintain that the Hebrew language vowel points ordinarily annexed to the consonants of the word "Jehovah", are not the natural points belonging to that word, and that they do not express the true pronunciation of it; but that they are vowel points belonging to the words, Adonai and Elohim, applied to the ineffable name Jehovah, which the Jews were forbidden to utter, and the true pronunciation of which was lost; they were therefore always to pronounce the word ''Adonai'', instead of Jehovah.〔http://1828.mshaffer.com/d/word/adonists Webster's 1828 Dictionary〕
==''Adonai''==
(詳細はsyntactic plural. (The singular form is ''Adoni'', "my lord". This was used by the Phoenicians for the god Tammuz and is the origin of the Greek name Adonis. Jews only use the singular to refer to a distinguished person: in the plural, "rabotai", literally, "my masters", is used in both Mishnaic and modern Hebrew.)
Since pronouncing YHWH is avoided out of reverence for the holiness of the name, Jews use ''Adonai'' instead in prayers, and colloquially would use ''Hashem'' ("the Name"). When the Masoretes added vowel pointings to the text of the Hebrew Bible around the eighth century CE, they gave the word YHWH the vowels of ''Adonai'', to remind the reader to say ''Adonai'' instead. It is thought by some that later Biblical scholars mistook this vowel substitution for the actual spelling of YHWH and interpreted the name of God as "Jehovah".
The Sephardi translators of the Ferrara Bible go further and substitute ''Adonai'' with ''A.''
