Is the apostrophe at the beginning necessary? I suggest ulama. --Volants 07:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- also 'um, 'un, 'Uthman, 'umra, 'ammiyya have a similar apostrophe. --Volants 07:42, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's a transliteration thing, I read a book on Islam and it used apostrophes a lot in this way. If attestable with these spellings, why not keep them? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- I am of the same opinion as Mglovesfun, that these should be kept if attestable. - -sche 03:01, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
This plural exists for the Islamic sense, but I'm not sure how best to add it, since ulama is listed by us as a plural already. Equinox ◑ 23:53, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
