## Notes

Checked histories differ on whether Balabyne/Balabino replaced earlier Petrivka/Petrivska soon after 1917 or in 1938. No exact renaming year chosen. Reservoir-era geographical descriptions are not repeated as current conditions. Standard-derived romanizations are retrieval aids, not claims of English or French prose frequency.
