Kuhn notes elsewhere that in his NWB/Venetic there are many cases of the pattern known from Latin s-stem noun / adj. in -st- (honos / honestus etc), in this case ang-ust-, known from both Latin and Germanic.

Perhaps Lotharingen might be a better --albeit anachronistic-- term for the zone, whose inhabitants seem to be been squeezed out of their languages time and time again. Given that the Rhine corresponds to much of the area, Rhenish might work or Rhine-Hister to be more complete or Rhenhysterical.
