There is a linguistic error in the arwikibooks project, the definite article 'Al-' (الـ) was incorrectly added to the word (كتب). The correct name for the project should be (ويكي كتب) without the definite article, rather than (ويكي الكتب).
Therefore, wgSiteName and wgMetaNamespace should be updated to reflect the correct name.
