I think it's just trying to squeeze Ala Uldeen into one word.  |

*Pelts in like some kind of maniac on a sugar-high*
I found another transliteration!
"Alla ad Deen."
Don't ask me how I got so lucky. I just downloaded one of those 1001 Nights stories - a huge, honkin' multi-megabyte file. As I was randomly scrolling, I managed to stop RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORY OF ALADDIN!
Now, did I mention that this was a multi-megabyte text document?
From the looks of it, it's amongst one of the THE most detailed versions I've ever seen. It really tells you right away what a brat Alla ad Deen is, LOL. Even moreso than other versions.
I really should post it up. It looks awesome.

Was it the Burton version of the story? The Lang version is a little easier translated  |

This 'un seems to be done by a Johnathan Scott.
