## Notes

Shumske was clarified as Shumsk by decree 7647-XI dated 21 June 1989. English locality history conflates this with restoration of city status in 1999. Both dates are distinguished. https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/7647-11 ; https://irp.te.ua/naseleni-punkty-ternopil-s-koyi-oblasti-yaki-buly-perejmenovani-z-01-01-1986-po-01-02-2018/ Standard-derived forms support retrieval without implying English or French press adoption.
