The al-mi'rāj is a creature of Persian myth, which resembles a one-horned rabbit. Despite being a Persian myth, most sources seem to have been written in Arabic, hence the Arabic name(s), but what is the creature called in the Persian language?

If so, how does the pronunciation differ? Would it affect the Latin transcription?– S.T. VejeSep 26 at 5:39
