From the Latin form, the Jovian result would be |Angavindse|
[,aNg@'vindz] or something similar.  The German "der Andgau"
would yield something like |de Angau| ['daNgo], which is 
quite cool.  =)

Place and personal names are usually not declined in Jovian.
Places and verb infinitives are treated with prepositions
(none for ACC, ad and de for DAT and GEN), while persons can
be prefixed with the third person personal pronoun: 

|Is David dige ei Tseffan ud awa en Sonja soren ys Isavelle.|
[i 'da:viddi:g ej'dzeff@n u'da:ven'dzAnj@,zo:r@n y,ziz@'vell]
"He David says to_him Steven that he loves her Sonja, the
sister of_her Isabelle."
