It turns out I'd missed one of the vowel changes too. Couldn't figure out how I'd managed to keep /ea/, which shouldn't exist, but I pinned it down finally (I think my master plan runs to some 9 pages!). Means Rhenania now ends up as /ri:n@/ or /ri:nen@/ instead of /rean@/ though, which is a pity.
I prefered the incorrect version!

Why don't you just say that the language name was adopted from a neighboring language/dialect, and isn't actually from fully within the language itself? Isn't that how _Español_ came about?
