But the name has been borrowed long before now -- at least two centuries
ago. <g> survives in that case (that's what I meant by "traditional

"new" in most cases by default) that are processed by the new

A last name ("new" by default), thus <x>.

A rather rare exception -- a traditional (borrowed before the fifties)
last name, thus <g>.
