Spelling

@Z1720: Just a question while reading through the article. I am aware his name is Abishabis, but in the "Legacy" section, it reads Upon Abishabe’s death, a woman and boy who spread Abishabe’s teachings were forced to put their relics of Abishabe’s.... This is something that shows up a few times, but mostly in the "Legacy" portion. Is it another romanization of his name? If such, I think it would probably be ideal to have the alternative romanization in the opening sentence (along the lines of "sometimes referred to as Abishabe") and perhaps correct the instances of his name being rendered as "Abishabe" for consistency's sake. If this is another scenario altogether that is understandable, but it is a bit confusing. Ornithoptera (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ornithoptera: That's a misspelling of his name. I have corrected it in the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Seems like it happens twice in "Early religious activity" since you overlooked that. Wishing the best! Ornithoptera (talk) 02:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"three men took him from his cell and hit his head with an axe, destroying his brain." well, that's one way to put it.
