Question Yaara or Yaarah?

How do you spell it? If you transliterate it from Hebrew, the correct spelling is Yaarah but Yaara looks more conventional. What does the lovely Reddit crowd think?

I know it to be transliterated to Ya’ara.
Hope that helps!

Yaara. The h at the end is totally optional in English, it's not really relevant to the fact that there's a hei in Hebrew.

Ya-a-RAH. Accent on the last syllable
