Older Kazakh name in Latin alphabet?

Where does "Abaý" come from? In Kazakh, the Cyrillic "й" has never been transliterated to the Latin "ý", only "y", "iʼ" and "ı"; the Latin "ý" is rather the equivalent of the Cyrillic "у". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_alphabets). Joe Forster/STA (talk) 07:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
