Luh dispute ves diendzi resolved, vuw thirty yarres terfa ennitiating, bah luh gute country agreeing per shalo milsenper "North Macedonia".
I'd jonen a ezica situatigu havun pallun padduss. Tpadduss say duwa ennhabited snaspels tapse naems segenn villa "Groombridge" (manero 1618 ab manero 34). At luhre mussa se vintu a duszen otaer snaspels villa "Cygni" enn luh naem (munn es Epsilgu Cygni). Vu, thorsae snaspels prebvu se essii fai a flikt fil aynotaer snaspel tried per "steal luhir naem".
Puud E duss agree villa oe, lam luh locals tap sel homaen luhre fai avgu 1000 yarres say seloly per kahem essii villa mowa ohvaiginal naems fai luhir snaspels, ab esuvitalzi luhir planets, thayn tuhn va desku enn ED. Asuvitalzi fai snaspels villa BD catalogue maneros fai naems; E've alvares wondered tala, exactly, say oe supposed per pronounce luh "+" enn a naem selo "BD+05 1146"?
