May be that's a question that the ISO 15924 member representing TC46 and working for Encyclopedia Universalis (I can't remember his name) could reply. He's French too and he has access to large collections of documents. I don't have his encyclopedia, much too expensive for my budget, and as most French people, my references to French dictionnaries is limited to the common Petit Larousse and Petit Robert, and a much less expensive encyclopedia... These are now old editions... dated 1982 with much less concerns with imports of foreign words. OK it's not critical for now. The script names are described in Unicode, and in the first edition, they could be left informative but still descriptive enough to avoid ambiguities, rather than becoming normative. Only the codes and aliases will be normative for now.
