I meant that initially, "Eswatini" looked wrong to me, because I know the "e" is a prefix in Swati and would normally be lowercased, with the attached stem word capitalized. But, if "Eswatini" is what ISO 3166/MA and the government want to use, it's their call. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, US | ewellic.org
