@Mcljlm: All right. Thanks. Maybe he doesn't know the usual rules! Eric Kvaalen (talk) 18:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's not just his spelling Eric Kvaalen. Notice Joseph Bismuth and its Hebrew article, Bismuth and its Hebrew article as well as בִּיסְמוּט at the Academy of the Hebrew Language. Mcljlm (talk) 21:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Mcljlm: Yes but the spelling of the element doesn't come from Hebrew! If it did, then we would spell the element "bismut". Except that even in Hebrew the element can be spelled "ביסמות", which goes with the spelling "bismuth". I wonder why Joseph Bismuth spelled his name like that. There's no reason for the "h".
