This is yet another example of grammar. "Belle" should always have a
capital "B" if it is someone's name. جمىلة (Jamilya) is, of course,
single cased as Arabic only has one case. In German every noun has a
capital letter. This is vital information in parsing German or finding
names in other Roman languages.
