And as it
happens, Абергавенни comes from Abergavenny rather than Y Fenni,
showing that some discernment was applied.
Not sure I understand that statement, transliterating Y Fenni is equally

Russian speakers have been calling that city Абергавенни for over 150
years. If someone transliterated Y Fenni and said that was the Russian
name for the city, they would be wrong.
