Shlomo KaraiShlomo Karahi – Perhaps the name of this article would be Shlomo Karahi, because of the letter ע ( Ayin) in "קרעי". On Facebook he called " shlomo karhi". ידידיהצבאן ( talk) 09:57, 14 April 2019 (UTC)--Relisted. – Ammarpad ( talk) 18:48, 21 April 2019 (UTC)--Relisting.  DannyS712 ( talk) 23:47, 4 May 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose "Karahi" The only use of this spelling is this suggestion on Wikipedia. Google News has more hits for "Karai" versus "Karhi" ( 51 vs 32), but official sources like his Facebook page and Bar-Ilan University profile use Karhi, so I wouldn't be opposed to that. However, I would be interested to know how this transliteration came about, as I've never seen ayin become an "h" before (it's usually an a or e, sometimes combined with a glottal stop).

    You're right, so be It. I will note that Google has 2,520 results for Shlomo Karhi compared to 132 results for Shlomo Karai. ידידיהצבאן ( talk) 19:50, 14 April 2019 (UTC) reply
    Clarification: I meant that it is a good idea to change the article name to "Karhi".
    A Few Explanation: See - Modern Hebrew#Pronunciation. In that case, he is from a Sephardi Jew family, and his name is originally an Arab name, so maybe he tried to save part of the correct pronountion in the transliteration. 19:59, 17 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ידידיהצבאן ( talkcontribs)
  • Rename to Shlomo Karhi - He publishes his papers as Karhi ( Google Scholar), the Knesset website is Karhi ( link), his Facebook page is Karhi ( link) etc. DGtal ( talk) 12:12, 1 May 2019 (UTC) reply
  • information Note: I have  Relisted this RM - discussion about potentially moving to Shlomo Karhi would be helpful. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 23:47, 4 May 2019 (UTC) reply
