I have heard it pronounced Baduh in Saudi but then that may be dialectal. The reason for the equal subdivisions with these marks is that each bloc is supposed to contain a different numeral or character (Arabic characters also have a numeric value.) These are arranged so that whether added from side to side or top to bottom, they sum the same. Hence the baduh is considered to have talismanic porperties.
