The chazzan is at the end of Avos (first bracha of Shmoneh Esrei) and he says, "...מגן אברם" (without the hei) instead of "...מגן אברהם," (with a hei). Would he be יוצא?

Related: judaism.stackexchange.com/q/35681 as well as several of the questions linked there. This is a special case where B'rachos 13a is also relevant (mentioned in DanF's answer), but I think this question hinges primarily on whether a problem is created with shone mimatbei'a' or changing the nusach.– FredJul 17, 2014 at 19:56

Why is the question about the chazan only?– msh210 ♦Jul 18, 2014 at 7:19

Brachot 13a:
תני בר קפרא כל הקורא לאברהם אברם עובר בעשה
Bar Kaparah says someone who calls Avraham Avram "passes over" a positive commandment
I infer, then, that this is problematic. Since the Gemarrah uses a "long" expression "Passes over a positive commandment" rather than stating "he sinned", it seems to mean that the person missed an opportunity to do a positive commandment, but it is not a sin, per se.
The best option, would probably be to speak to the Shat"z after davening and explain that he should correct the error next time.

@ChiddusheiTorah Who says that when you thank a million, it means money? How about a million mitzvot? Deal? :-) BTW, the answer, hopefully, made you "earn" your user ID.– DanFJul 17, 2014 at 18:55
