I think, the piece name should be spelled Dabbaba (without an H at the end), the underlying Arabic does not have it either.

I have updated the first paragraph to cover how the word has been spelled in printed Chess variant literature. Since Dabbabah is one of the spellings that has been used in print, and I don't want to change the URL of this page, I am sticking with it for this page, though I do note some reasons one could prefer Dabbaba.
