    • Usage notes

    (l), the true name of the Jewish (and by extension (l)) God, is read as Adonai or as (l) while praying or reading the (l). The word Adonai is normally used only in prayer, else the speaker risks taking the Lord’s name in vain. In normal speech, the word (l) ("The Name") is used instead.
