Presumably, following your logic, "Concordska", would probably imply (through the patronymic form) "Daughter of Concorde", which would certainly not be true, and very sadly isn't true of anything else either. Although, maybe that's what whatever Frenchman first coined the term meant?

LOL! Am sure that Frenchman was extracting the golden as I think 'Concordava' would be the correct patronymic form, but to be honest I am equally glad to be paid to understand rivers, not linguistics. That Residence Evening Star is multi-lingual means out of necessity I have to get by in Russian.
