The word franÃais means "French", not "France". "France" in French is
"France" - where the 'n' is not a separate sound but just makes the
'a' nasal. {vIranIS} is probably still how it would get Klingonicized.

Why abandon your native-name idea now? The Finnish word for "Finland"
is "Suomi", which is practically perfect Hol already: SuomIy.
