. Cognate with 🇨🇬,, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬.

The insertion of ⟨s⟩—a 16th century spelling modification—is due to a change in spelling to the unrelated term, which previously lacked s (cf. , ). The re-addition was mistakenly carried over to include iland as well. Related also to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. More at.
