Remove latinized autonyms for Kayah #85

Closed kontur closed 1 year ago

Hey @sergiolmartins

I saw we have two autonyms for Kayah which are written in Latin. As a base rule the autonym should be spelled in the orthography it describes.

...
eky:
  name: Eastern Kayah
  orthographies:
  - autonym: Kayah
    base: ꤀ ꤁ ꤂ ꤃ ꤄ ꤅ ꤆ ꤇ ꤈ ꤉ ꤊ ꤋ ꤌ ꤍ ꤎ ꤏ ꤐ ꤑ ꤒ ꤓ ꤔ ꤕ ꤖ ꤗ ꤘ ꤙ ꤚ ꤛ ꤜ ꤝ ꤞ ꤟ ꤠ ꤡ ꤢ ꤣ ꤤ ꤥ ꤮ ꤯
    marks: ◌ꤦ ◌ꤧ ◌ꤨ ◌ꤩ ◌ꤪ ◌꤫ ◌꤬ ◌꤭
    numerals: ꤀ ꤁ ꤂ ꤃ ꤄ ꤅ ꤆ ꤇ ꤈ ꤉

kyu:

  orthographies:
  - autonym: Karenni
    base: ꤀ ꤁ ꤂ ꤃ ꤄ ꤅ ꤆ ꤇ ꤈ ꤉ ꤊ ꤋ ꤌ ꤍ ꤎ ꤏ ꤐ ꤑ ꤒ ꤓ ꤔ ꤕ ꤖ ꤗ ꤘ ꤙ ꤚ ꤛ ꤜ ꤝ ꤞ ꤟ ꤠ ꤡ ꤢ ꤣ ꤤ ꤥ ꤮ ꤯
    marks: ◌ꤦ ◌ꤧ ◌ꤨ ◌ꤩ ◌ꤪ ◌꤫ ◌꤬ ◌꤭
    numerals: ꤀ ꤁ ꤂ ꤃ ꤄ ꤅ ꤆ ꤇ ꤈ ꤉

Maybe the "Karenni" vs "Kayah" terminology difference could be added as a note instead? Or we find the respective spelling in the orthographies in question.

Let me know how to proceed and I'll update the data.

Hi @kontur, I think it's fine to update the autonym to use the orthography (ꤊꤢꤛꤢ꤭ ꤜꤟꤤ꤬). Both entries should have the same autonym, I believe.
