Talk:Daoud ibn al-Adid

Spelling
I have been wondering of the [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1067485590?diffmode=source strange spelling] for داود in English and found some books transcribing it with an apostrophe-like symbol, but also with the expected spelling Dawud, and Daoud on the German Wikipedia.

The other name is apparently الحامد لله, not what I saw here, الحميد الله "al-Ḥamīd Allah".

Should I respell the article? Daoud or Dawud (also Dāwūd) are better and more expectable transcriptions for the Arabic name, as they don't falsely suggest a glottal stop. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I also wondered at the spelling, TBH, and on reflection, I tend to agree with you. If you want to respell the article, go ahead! Thanks a lot for checking this! Constantine  ✍  16:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
