English term or phrase: Arabic descriptive term for member of "Da'esh"?
Greetings.

Asking for the descriptive term for a member of "Da'esh," both singular and plural.





Parallel example for 1970s-era members of PFLP and PLO: singular: fedaa'i, plural fedaa'ioon

Have seen various, occasional terms, like Da'eshii and Da'ewoosh, plural: Da'ewaawoosh (a la: shebaak, plural shebaabiik).

Doing research on printed and online Arabic media coverage of developments in Iraq and Syria.

Many thanks in advance for any helpful clarification about any standard adjective.

Explanation:
Since the root is "Daesh", there is no need to add extra vowels to mimic the pronunciation. It is better to treat the word as it is already an Arabic noun.
داعشيّ، داعشيّة، دواعش.
