The simple p"shat is that the yud is there due to k'siv malei to stand in
for a tzeirei and so as not to be confused with a Qamatz

But in one lashon of Tosafos he does not go down the road of that p"shat
rather he claims that Yud and Heh refer to sheim Hashem "kah"

Dovteials well with seeing this as a targum for *yehi sheim* Hashem as
opposed to simply *yhi shmo*


Good Shabbos
