Actually, I think it's probably spelled and pronounced correctly. Arabic is very weird. When words have different tenses and meanings, they don't change the ending of the word, they change sounds in the beginning and middle. Thus, Islam and Muslim. The word is -sl-m, the parts where the dashes are determine the meaning, gender, number and so on.
So, Allah, or the word for their moon god, whose forms are variations of -lah, when followed by the hezbo part of hezbollah, might just be lah. An Arabic speaker could verify.

(I think so, Brain, but if we give peas a chance, won't the lima beans feel left out?)
Hiz B'Allah is the correct way to spell it. "Hiz" means party, and "B'" is a prefix that means under or of, and "Allah" is god. It is correct to separate the two words because in reality they are separate.
