The name of the people in the language itself used to have ''-ou-'' too, but then I changed historical phonology just enough that it caused that to become ''-ǣ-''. Still I kept ''-ou-'' in the English name as I had used it too much and for too long in order to change it so easily. Ever since creating Chlouvānem, I've made quite a few alterations every now and then, most of them small but eventually making very older versions quite different.
