Unas or Unis
While most references to this pharaoh seem to gravitate towards the "Unas" transliteration, I could find no source that clearly defined why this spelling has become more prominent than the "Unis" spelling. The actual hieroglyphic depiction of this pharaoh's name includes the reed symbol which is almost always transliterated as an "i" or on occasion "e", given this I don't see why "Unis" isn't the more common if not entirely dominate form of spelling. While my understanding of the subject is far from complete and I may be missing a key piece of information, I reckon the most prevalent and default spelling should be shifted to "Unis". 207.141.87.105 (talk) 07:59, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
See WP:COMMONNAME. Wikipedia follows whatever is the most prevalent spelling, regardless of whether it is logical. Furius (talk) 09:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
