I understand that it can be used in more than one way. But one of the ways is definitely for a “y” according to several of the Hebrew English transliteration charts. Some examples:
Example 1

Example 2 : (scroll down a bit to the chart - which is just for the tetragrammaton. The content of the article is really interesting also.)

Example 3
I think you two are talking about the same thing, thinking you’re talking about different things.

In the English transliteration, the ‘ (Apostrophe) is a glottal stop in old Hebrew. It is transliterated in the place of א, which is mostly silent in modern Hebrew, but was most likely a glottal stop in Biblical Hebrew.

. In the Hebrew, י (looks like an apostrophe, but called a “yod”) is like an English Y in pronunciation.

“ 'ehyeh 'aser 'ehyeh” in Hebrew is: אהיה אשר אהיה.

Do Elohim and Yahweh refer to God?
Yes. As does Hashem, Adonai, and some other words.

It’s not that different than when we refer to Jesus by different names and titles. “Jesus”…“Jesus Christ”… “the Christ”… “the Messiah”… “Lord”…“Son of God”…“Son of Man”… “my Lord”… “the Word”… “God Manifest”…etc etc.

Some terms refer to the person in a non-Name manner…

As if your boss’ name was Jesus and you also referred to him as “Boss”
