Pronunciation of daled in front of Hashem’s name

Question:

I recently asked what’s the correct pronunciation of Hashem’s name when it has a daled in front of it. I was asked where the that appears. I’ve seen it many times in unkelos and once in uva letzion. Also, if you say it wrong in shnayim mikrah are you yotzei?

Answer:

Correct, the rule applies to Hebrew, not Aramaic, and what you are referring to is Aramaic. Regarding Shnayim MIkra, you would still be yotza, because even if you pronounced the word with an incorrect nuance, the meaning of the word is still the same, so you are yotza

Best wishes
