“ Göbekli”

Pet peeve…” ö “ is not a letter in our alphabet. We don’t print Chinese characters and expect readers to pronounce them. Just because it looks like English doesn’t make it so. Göbekli should be spelled phonetically just like we do for Moscow.

""Gobekli Tepe translated to English is "Pot-belly Hill" according to the cook down at my favorite Turkish restaurant.

FWIW.
