I don`t think we should continue our discussion in this forum.
Some short answers to your questions:
>My question: Was YHWH directly changed into KS, or, rather, via KYROS?
I dont`t know.
>>(3) NT manuscripts younger than 150 CE have KS where Hebrew text quoted has T
>Ad (2) and (3): How can you prove that? Is KS really short for YHWH, or,

"KS" IS an abbreviation for KURIOS. LXX "Genesis", Chester Beatty Biblical
Papyrii, 1934, has KS in Gen 8:1 etc while the H text has YHWH.
>Perhaps the real important name in the early NT Era was Jesus? (cf. Acta
>22:16 and Rom 10:12-14); etc.).
Certainly, but without neglecting the one who sent Jesus and glorified him
(John 3:16; Acts 3:13).

Not Christians, probably Jews.
>That the NT originally contained the Holy Name remanes a hypothesis; at

Any reconstruction is hypothetical, based on more or less compelling evidence.
