Re: [Cz-L]IEU & history

The name of Cz:
1.Czernowitz Habsburgs
2. Cernauti Rumanian -the "a" has a "breve " the" t "a cydil to sound
                      "tz" the "i" is mute but is a softener to the "tz".
                       It is a plural like all cities endind in an "i".
3. Chernovitzy First Soviet occupation -Russian - the "y" sounds like the
                      rumanian "a" with a breve. Very similar to old german
name.
4. Chernovtzy From 1944 new Russian name .
                       The Russian names are also plurals.
 5. Chernivtsi Ukrainean name current use.

Thanks to Alti Rodal for the submission of the Internet Encyclopedia of
Ukraine which provided an interesting outline of Cz's ancient history. I
note that in these IEU pages Cz is spelled Chernivtsi. I had the impression
that the Russians had spelled it Chernovtsi(with an "i") but the Ukrainians
spelled it Chernivtsy (with a "y') Could it be that in translating from the
Cyrillic "i" and "y" can be interchanged?
