I hear you. It is possible that because it is not in itself a permanent writing to begin with, that, the loophole was created?

Does anyone concern themselves with intermediate states while writing, such as if a name ends in the e-l sound and is typing it in a word processor that would hyphenate their name leaving this derivative of G-d's name as the first word on a line, that they avoid this formatting?

Similarly, we see tes-vav written in place of a yud followed by a hei before the 15th verse of a chapter...

Are there any places where a very large number beginning with yud and a hei would be written, such as in the year 1500 range?

That is, if it takes 3 or for letters to spell out the number in its usual way, and the first two letters would be uncomfortable, is that discomfort easily surmounted by the knowledge that there will be additional letters written keeping the spelling profane?

If so, then the intermediate state must not be considerd to be erased... and the intermediate state of a hei before it was turned into a kaf might be looked at similarly?

There's an old Jerusalem joke about the way children in Jerusalem are known for their sharpness, while children in Bnei Brak are known for "frum"-ness.

On a first meeting, the shy Yerushalmi boy asks his prospective mate, "Aich Korim Lach?" (What's your name?).

She responds "Bas-kah", (instead of the usual pronounciation, Batya, simultaneously using old Hebrew and the -kah suffix to avoid the Holy
name and thus proving how frum she is.. ) She then asks him, "ulecha aich korim?" (And what's your name?)

He immediately shoots back with "Keli-kahu", instead of Eliahu, showing how silly this whole thing is.
