[edit] Nomes de landes

Hi Wayne,

nice to see you have started on the African countries. When I listed all the European countries I wanted to see how many were not in Novial Lxike (1930) and needed new names and to think how best they might be in Novial. Some cannot easily be Novialized and are probably best left unchaged, like Guernsey and Liechtenstein.

NL, the dictionary, doesn't have many African countries, but the countries in Novial provide a guide as to the style of Novial names. One which is in NL is Egypt which is "Egiptia". The person is "egipte" (an Egyptian) and the adjective "egipti". I'll look over the African names to see if I can help. I notice South Afica which you correctly translated as "Sudi Afrika" is not really distinguished from "Sud(i) Afrika", i.e. Southern Africa. A bit tricky that one. Anyway let's see.
