Interesting. Population density driven, perhaps?

Not at all.
Words were, and still are in primitive societies such as observant
Jews, considered to have an existence of their own, a kind of power or
memory.
It is for this reason that when the Torah is recited, the word for
their god YHWH, is pronounced as the generic (singular) term for a
deity: Adonai, as the word JHWH holds a thoroughly juvenile magic for
these superstitious meme carriers.
To remind these mental infants that the word should be read
differently, the consonants were written as YHWH, but the vowel
(superscript & subscripts) were written AOAI, from Adonai.

(A thoroughly uneducated German misreading of the Hebrew in the middle
ages has delivered us the ******* word "Jehovah", the consonants of
YHWH transliterated in German, and the vowels of Adonai mixed in
together!!)
Jehovah's Witnesses have named their cruel and moronic sect after a
mistake that arose from pure biblical and linguistic ignorance.
100% appropriate, I think.

Forgot about how, in primitive societies, some words have 'power.'

Indeed.
