Libyan placenames

I'm working on a standard (and official) system to transliterate (and retrotransliterate) Arabic script into my native language (applyable also for Spanish and Portuguese with some changes) and I'm nowadays trying to apply it in toponimic names for a publication, so I've chosen Libyan names first. The system has already been published and can be seen here, section 5.2. I've seen some inconsistencies in the name (transliteration) of some shabiyas of Libya (some articles give one transcription, some others give one different) in the articles of Wikipedia and its sources (mainly articles Districts of Libya and List of FIPS region codes (J-L)#LY: Libya, and sources for ISO 3166-2:LY here and here and statoids.com; if needed I can provide the differences in sources leading to confusion), and ask for help from a native speaker of Arabic to clear some doubts. Can you help me?

Problems are mainly concerning the unmarked harakaat for long vowels in the Standard Arabic version of the placename, and are the following:

1	الجفارة	'al-jifaaraº	'al-jafaaraº	vowel of first syllable after article (or none?)	Al Jfara
2	النقاط الخمس	'al-nuqaat. 'al-Hams	'al-niqaat. 'al-Hams	vowel of first syllable after article	An Nuqat al Khams
3	سرت	sirt	surt	vowel of first syllable	Surt
4	ترهونة و مسلاته	msalaataº	masallaataº	vowel of first syllable (of third word)	Tarhuna Wa Msalata
5	المرقب	'al-murqub	'al-marqab	vowel of first and second syllables	Al Murgub
6	مرزق	murSuq	marSuq / murSaq	vowel of first and second syllables	Murzuq
7	يفرن	yafran	yifrin	vowel of first and second syllables	Yafran
8	غريان	Rarii'aan	Rarii'aan / Rariyaan / Raryaan	vowels of second and third syllables	Gharyan
9	سوفاجين‎	sawfaajjiin	sawfajjiin	length of vowel for consonant "f"	Sawfajjin
10	زلتان‎	Slitan	Slitaan	length of vowel for consonant "t"	Zlitan
11	القبة	'al-qubaº	'al-qubbaº	gemination (shadda) of "b" or not?	Al Qubah
12	الواحات	'al-waaKhaaº	'al-waaKhaat	last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah?	Al Wahat
13	مرادة	marad	maradah	structure of third syllable: ta marbutah?	Maradah
14	مصراتة	mis.(u)raatah	mus.(u)raatah	vowel of first syllable after article and last consonant: h, t or ta marbutah?	Misratah

I am committed to upload the publication of the final article, if released, the same way I did with the previous one. Please check in my talk page if this is already answered. Sobreira (parlez) 15:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
