Yep. Humus too. Words of Arabic origen end up being spelled various ways in English, depending on the dialect. Used to be practitioners of Islam were called Moslems. Now the usual spelling is Muslim. Same word. There are no vowels really in the alphabets of semitic languages so transliterations into English get---creative.

Because of same pronounciation the word is sometime misunderstood. One means a composition of chick peas and is edible. The other means a composition of organic decayed material in the soil.The first is speelled Humus the second is spelled hummus.
