The name Aznar shows z from either Latin c (pal.) or Bq sY , with the spelling over time showing it's most likely not from Latin, but an attempt to spell a sound not w/in Latin to start with. Ex. of Acenari by Aceari (both names) shows there was at least a cluster like nX > nX / X > n / h > n / 0 , or similar; the words for 'fox' show the rest of ev. for the cluster mX (+), as in all languages.
