Question:
Hi, if there is a daled in front of Hashem’s name, is it pronounced like a shin ,da- ado…or like a beis, ba-do, thank you so much.
Answer:
The general rule regarding letters that precede H-shem’s name is מ-ש-ה מוציא, ו-כ-ל-ב מכניס . Meaning that if the letter preceded H-shem’s name is either מ’ or ש’ or ה’, such as הלי’, then the letter ה’ is accentuated and read as a syllable of it’s own. However when the letters ו-כ-ל-ב come before H-shem’s name then we don’t pronounce it as a syllable of its own. Can you please tell me where you have such a word?
Thanks

I believe in Aramaic; see in U’va le’tzion, after baruch kevod.
Correct, the rule applies to Hebrew, not Aramaic
