Krakeb, not Krakebs[edit]

Hello, I have just moved the page from "Krakebs" to "Krakeb", and have adapted the spelling in the article, except for a quote, where krakebs is used. The reason is that Krakeb is already a plural (from singular karkab / qarqab) and using a spelling with -s could give the impression that the Arabic root includes in fact an S, which is not the case. Of course, in English, the word might have been popularized with the plural -s ending, and if so, it should be kept like this, because Arabic grammar is not the decisive point; English usage is. But as far as I have seen, among the very few appearances of the word in the internet, krakeb and krakebs occur more or less with the same frequency, and the only academic article I have found says that the instrument’s name is "frequently transliterated as krakeb" (see here: https://web.archive.org/web/20190528214116/http://etd.fcla.edu/UF/UFE0021206/witulski_c.pdf). Therefore we should stick to this form, which not only seems to be the most correct one, but also the most usual one in English, besides being the one employed also in all other languages in Wikipedia. The source (1) quoted in the article spells "krakebs" but it also spells "Morrocan" and "Morrocco", which gives an idea of the rather not so authoritative character of the site when it comes to English orthography.
