This raises the problem of yet another ambiguation, this one due to original diverging usages about casing vs non-casing glottal stop. Latin being a casing script, the glottal stop should be casing only. Since this is available, making an effort to unify the usage may be desirable.
Here, this results in ensuring that Sahaiɂa and all other people with a glottal stop in their name will escape trouble with even more officialdom.
