The Yahweh contradiction

[loostudent]

I had been wondering what the significance of “Shin” meant in forming the new name: YHShVH, Yod Heh Shin Vau Heh.

Here's what Reuchlin himself had in mind:

But why was it of all letters the Shin that had to be added? Reuchlin answers with a philological speculation: Shin was the consonant of oil and the anointed ( Shemen, Mashiach), and 'Christ' originally means the one who is anointed in God.
