Precisely, transliterating Y Fenni would have been equaly easy, but the contributor chose the transliteration of Abergavenny instead to use in Russian. That choice was made by a human. That brings Абергавенни closer to being an actual name rather than an automatic transliteration. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
