Greetings...
Not sure about the spelling of Selassie or Sellassie, we are talking about english interpretation of a syllabic language written only One way in Amaharic or Ge'ez, and open to phonetic interpretation in english.
Ras KebreAb, in Amharic I'm quite sure that the words Ababa, and Abeba are spelled differently (am I mistaken)? The words Addis Ababa are meant to mean new flower, right?, so I can see why an english interpretor would want to make the distiniction between the word "flower" which sounds like Abeba and the word Ababa, which is a priest title for "father"(correct?)...
Selam
