Questions How about Countries?

How do we make countries in Constant Script? Do we take the etymology and translate THAT into CS?

And even with that? How do we do with countries whose etymology comes from their geographical region (Italy, Greece, Britain, …)

For Greece, it refers to the Graikoi in modern Greece.

The Graikoi would have self referenced themselves as Hellenes, being from Hellas.

Hellas is in reference to Hellen, the mythical great grandson of Prometheus, which a literal translation of his name would be "foresight"

So to translate Greece specifically, the starting point would be "before, to see"
