Chimpoi

Cimpoi

English transliteration of the name in new Moldovan Cyrillic script (➺ »Atlas«); Podnos dubiously claims that "Romanian bagpipe names contain 7 different spellings", ignoring the fact that foreign spellings and transliterations should not be included in that number, but, moreover, missing at least 1 valid variant (➺ Cempoi); NB: ➺ Čimpoj.
