The apostrophe is standard and preferred.  Some people like to use an "h"
instead, and this is a semi-standard variant.  And Rosta likes to omit it
altogether, using an "h" when ambiguity would result:
he writes "ba'a" as "baa", "ba'i" as "bahi".

Naturally, one sometimes seems mixed text, because some articles
contain text from different sources.
