I will ask them.

Like with with everything Kou, I would rather keep it Kou than change everything to Ko or Kō. So should I ask for Yamraiha, Seisyun, Ithnan, Judar? The names "Yamraiha", "Ithnan" (إثنان Ithnaan "Two"), and "Judar" all are correct possibilities from the Japanese. "Seisyun" is a weird one, but if Japanese wanted to make a syu-sound, theortically it would use the イ-form of "S" with a half-sized ユ as many other consonants do, but as we know in practice, it just makes a "shu"-sound. Furthermore, the digraph "sy" in Malay/Indonesian makes a "sh" sound. So I think Seisyun is an acceptable spelling. It's even the name of a Japanese band  「 青春 SEISYuN」（せいしゅん).  "Kou" obviously is acceptible for こう. Also, the "s" or "g" you see in the guidebook is a stupidly cursive "h". It does the same thing with Ren Hakuei.

But anyway, I will ask about all these anyway, including Al-Thamen and Sharrar.
