I see it as both all over the place...I need an 100% true spelling. Please help, my dog's fate depends on it. No there is no bet on his life about the spelling, I am naming him it and want to get it right...Oh and he has a companion, Bubka.

Its prolly just in how u translate it, like they use a ceriliac alphabet and we use roman...so i mean...both are prolly correct.
