Masaba, the name that Wikipedia uses, is definitely more common than our unciteable Masaaba. (User:-sche is on wikibreak, so somebody else needs to comment on this one.) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:18, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- From what I gathered that’s correct. Support. — Ungoliant (Falai) 06:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Also note that muntu is the only entry we have, so just a few categories to deal with. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Support ("Masaaba" does seem to be attested, e.g. Godfrey Mwakikagile uses it in two books, Derek Nurse and Gerard Philippson use it and David William Cohen seems to use it, but "Masaba" is more common). Curiously, the spelling with one A seems to be the original spelling, and the modern spelling, while the spelling with two As seems to have been a fad of the 1970s that dropped off after the 90s. - -sche (discuss) 19:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
