What a coincidence. :-)

What's Terkunan in Pilovian?  It might be 'Tarragon(i)an' in English.
In Terkunan, it is probably from tarraconense(m) with the ending
replaced by -a:nu(m).  Some dialectal and/or foreign influence must be
involved, because it is not by regular soundshifts.  The capital is
called 'Terkunes'.

And I just noticed that the regular -e:nsem should be -is, not -es as
I currently have.  Hmm...
