Talk:Bolkly

Is it "Bolky" or "Bolkly"? -- the article seems to be inconsistent. In any case, a scholarly transcription would not have a y at the end.

And "Bolkly" actually sounds completely un-Arabic -- it would have to be spelled as two words (like Ramallah or Omdurman) and/or have an extra vowel to be Arabicized... AnonMoos 19:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Bolkly...not Bolky
It is Bolkly, not an arabic name though, and "Bokla" is more commonly used by egyptians. TheEgyptian 24 september 2006

Paul Klee
Please stop putting false information about Paul Klee in entry. The area was called Bulkeley before World War One, long before Klee visited. (Languagehat 00:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC))
