The spelling has been corrupted over three major linguistic shifts, suffering degradation in each of these transliterative {{Wpl|phono-semantic matching}} occurrences.

====Sudmoll controversy==== | |||
Main article: [[Sudmoll Island Conflicts]] | |||
Following its independence in [[1921]], [[Stenza]] laid claim to the Burgoignesc island of [[Sudmoll]]. On a number of politically advantageous occasions, the [[Stenzan Armed Forces]] have been dispatched to occupy the island often leading to an escalation of tension between [[Stenza]] and Burgundie. There have also been a number of flashpoints between [[Stenza]]n and [[Sudmoll]]ese fishing and merchant fleets that have had to be broken up by the coast guards of both countries. To this day the matter remains unsettled with both nations claiming the island, but [[Stenza]]'s last concerted effort to exert control over the island was in [[1992]]. | |||
