As can be seen, it doesn't matter which form it is, but either one or both of the letters Waw can be dropped from this name. This also occurs in many other Hebrew words, where in the Masoretic there isn't a Waw letter, but instead it has the vowel-pointing, but in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Waw letter is there instead.
There are 5 and 6 letter variants of this name within the Masorete texts. The longer variant is found in Deuteronomy 3:21 and Judges 2:7. Neither of the Waws in any of the variations of the Masorete Text or those mentioned above represent a consonant form. All uses of the Waws in this name are strictly there for the soul purpose to denote vowel sounds.
And being in the Hebrew language vowels are to be implied - even when not supplied - the first and last Waws in this name are to always be pronounce every time without exception. The Fact that the Waws where provided in the longer forms are proof that the shorter forms are to have these vowels pronounced within them. This is something that has to be looked upon in a Hebrew mind-set in order to come to the correct understanding.
Y'hoshuah is defined as: "He Will/Shall Save" in the future tense.
{Mat_1:21} And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His Name Yehoshuah:
for?He shall save?His people from their sins.
Again it simply means "He Will /Shall Save" referring to The Anointed One.
Even the Aramaic form of this name (Yeshua) is defined as "He Will Save".
H3442
yeshua
For H3091; he will save;
Wonder where they got that from? If you will notice it says that this Aramaic form is for H3091.
And anyone can see that the five letter and the six letter versions of this name are pronounced exactly the same. Again vowels did not have to be supplied in the Hebrew writings for the reader as they knew what vowels to apply through the Hebraic linguistic rules.
There are those whom will say that the so-called Aramaic form of Yeshua is really Hebrew because it has no standing within the Aramaic language, but it has none in the Hebrew either. It is only present within Aramaic writings. It is unto Yehoshuah as Mar-Yah is unto YHWH. That is to say that it is not a normal Aramaic name based off of a normal Aramaic word, but it is rather an Aramaic rendition of a Hebrew name, just as Mar-Yah is a special Aramaic form which stands in place of the Divine Name YHWH.
