Notes
Renamed Zatonsk in 1927. A museum conference history records restoration of Воньківці in November 1937 and change to Віньківці in February 1938; other accounts give Zatonsk until 1938. Chronology noted without flattening the intermediate name. https://kraimuz.km.ua/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/konferencziya_2022-opt.pdf Standard-derived romanizations are retrieval aids, not claims of English or French prose frequency.
