The spelling

Where this spelling comes from

It combines the two choices the other spellings make separately: "ou" for the long vowel, the way French writes it, and "-eh" for the final letter, the way dialect is usually transliterated.

That combination is a natural one for anyone who writes in French and speaks Levantine Arabic, which describes a great many people in Lebanon.
