[Facts] Re: Sevhil (ukr: Севгіль)
in reply to a message by elbowin
The palatisation on the l (it's the ь in Cyrillic) tracks with that as well, sometimes i sounds in other langauges become ь in Russian or Ukrainian; e.g. Μαριούπολη (Marioupoli) —> Маріуполь (Mariupol').
Sevgili also seems to be a Turkish name so it would make sense for there to be a Crimean Tatar variant.
