In Ottoman Turkish[edit]

This dictionary transliterates it as "ked-hütâ". --Z 21:03, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possible. Ottoman Turkish is sometimes transcribed into modern Turkish phonology, which results in Mehmed becoming Mehmet, etc. I don't know if this is such a case, but if you consider this a reliable source, feel free to add this transliteration. Constantine 07:42, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

k[y]ahya or kehya[edit]

Also regarding Ottoman spelling: I wonder if "kehya" is originally written in kha خ /x/ ?

Because if it is, it may be the origin of the family name Kikhia.
