I like "Pilovese." It puts me in mind of an operetta. "My Lady, the Pilovese ambassador is here." Rather like the Grand Duchy of Fenwick! I'll hazard some guesses: Hebrew: pilovi, pilovith Swahili: kipilova Haitian Creole: pilove (analogous to franse and angle) Rumanian: pilovetse (there should be a comma under the s) Hungarian: pilovul Ecclesiastical Latin: (lingua) pilovica Senjecan: if the name of the country is Pilova, then pilôvmhas. If the name of the country is Pilovia, then pilôvïmhas. The construction is based on the adjectival suffix `mhis' = pertaining to, used as an abstract noun in –mhas. (mh = /m_0/)
