In case anyone wants to know the reason for that dot-like symbol in the middle:In Catalan, [ll] represents its own sound, similar to the Portuguese [lh].
On the other hand, Arabel·la has two sounds in the middle. If it were spelled *Arabella, then it should be pronounced differently like I said above. In order to show that the two sounds are separate, they used this symbol [·] (called "interpunct" in English). There are other such words in Catalan, such as "intel·ligent", "excel·lent", "il·lusió" or "col·laborar".
What's with the dots?
