:: I think your unsigned interlocutor was correct on this one. I don't think there's a straight translation of the Name; there's certainly no Jewish tradition of one, and not a Christian one that I'm aware of - hence the LXX translating the k're ''Adonai'' with ''Kurie''. There is something of the verb "to be" about it, but nothing susceptible to straight translation or simple explanation.
