In the south of Kemr, y hYspanow maintain this same custom. The
spelling of your name would be unchanged, except Eugenio would
most likely be Ewgenis. The pronunciation would be different, of
course: ['karlos EwdZ'Eni 'tonson pinz'o]. Someone unfamilliar
with English names might say [ton'so]. Though -mp- is an allowable
cluster, -mps- is not; hence the simplification to -ns-.
