I thought this crumb of information might be of some interest or use to our cause:
The name of the jewish "god" in the jewish bible is often said to be incomplete due to missing vowel(sounds) / diacritics, but, in reality, in older forms of hebrew there were no vowels, so the "tetragrammaton" or the four-letter-name-of-"god" is likely the entire thing.
Whilst there are multiple ways to transliterate these four letters the most interesting possibility I've found is to transliterate it as jewe. The second e is arguably redundant. So, just jew.
This is the most likely source of the name for the jews and judaism, but it also quite explicitly relays the reality that the "god" of the jews is, in fact, themselves.
I hope someone finds this information useful.
