Notes

Rivne is the village in Novoukrainka Raion, Kirovohrad Oblast, not the northwestern Ukrainian regional capital. Population omitted; French Rovnoïé is a naming-data alias, not a verified contemporary French preference. Standard-derived forms support retrieval without implying English or French press adoption. Independent French locality-prose evidence is limited.
