## Notes

English locality article gives 1949 for replacement of Liakhivtsi, while the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine and regional library give 1946. Main follows present name; former-name reasons follow the stronger regional reference, with discrepancy recorded. https://esu.com.ua/article-40763 ; https://ounb.km.ua/vidanya/2025/2025\_12\_23\_2\_3.pdf Standard-derived forms support retrieval without implying English or French press adoption.
