Real-world considerations

  • Spelling note: Lilja.
  • No dictionary-sourced pronunciation was located during research, so primaryPronunciation is left unknown rather than guessed. A separate Hawaiian-language etymology (from 'Lily'/'Lydia') exists for the same spelling but was not treated as applicable to this project's English/European-usage profile.
