We find in this week’s parsha, that the kohen uncovers the hair of the sota. If hair is a true erva, then wouldn’t this be a problem? Especially to then say hashem’s name in her presence.
The Mishna states (Sotah 1:4) that the Kohen also uncovers the woman’s upper body, which is certainly a “true erva”.
How he can then say the Shem Hashem in front of her is a good question.
We can say that he is commanded specifically by the Torah to do so, just as usually one would not be allowed to uncover erva.
