C-a word for "Africa"

I've been debating the C-a name for Africa
Proconsularis for years now and haven't come to a
decision.  The native product would be:

africa > avriga

The problem comes when I concider the Arabic form
Ifr�q�ya which would nativize as:

ifriqiya > ivrridja

or become a learned borrowing as:

ifriqiya > ifrrig�a

Then of course ther are various bastard forms such as:

avridja
ivriga
avrridji
ivrriga

and so on.

does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Adam
