[edit] Mentese is the norm / no to the merger to 'Menteshe'
Wikipedia is trying to stay on par with professional encyclopedia patterns.
The place and dynasty were identified in Encyclopaedia Brittanica as Mentese.
A google search on Mentese and Menteshe will indicate that the former produces more "hits", and that more hits pertain to the place and dynasty.
Futhermore, the search indicates that the former relates to Turkish and English usage. The latter relates to German usage.Dogru144 18:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
