Hi Mark,

I understand that the English name for "CV" should be customary "Cape Verde" in English, but for the root locale, should the name adopt ISO 3166's bare name, where they switched it from "Cape Verde" to "Cabo Verde"?

    Besides country name, there is also the change in currency name
    "Cape Verde Escudo" -> "Cabo Verde Escudo". CurrencyNames.properties
    is generated based on CLDR and the currency name in it is "Cape
    Verdean escudo", same as what in latest CLDR. So I will leave
    CurrencyNames.properties unchanged, and only modify
    LocaleNames.properties.


​BTW, for a name of an entity in a given language, CLDR tries to use the
most common, customary form/in that language/. "Cape Verde" is (at least
for now) the most common name for CV in English, although of course the
name can be different in other languages.
