I've heard that before, probably from you :-).... what Latin word does
"españon" come from?
ObConlang (i hope i'm using that word correctly), Spain in Judean is
called ISPAMJA [iSpamja], based on the Aramaic name _ispamya_ from Latin
Hispania (sp?), and no, i have no idea how the /n/ became an /m/. :-)
