- H8crilA 3y agoYou can also go to Cyrillic and then use the standard English transliteration: Hodów -> Ходув -> Khoduv. Though it might also have been Годов -> Hodov, with the Г pronounced in the Ukrainian / Belarusian / Ruthenian way, as a throaty H. Seeing old Polish names through those languages is often a worthwhile enterprise. EDIT: I forgot to do the obvious, and check the current name of the town: Годів - Hodiv - https://maps.app.goo.gl/h6zA61k6CNTAEf787 https://maps.app.goo.gl/h6zA61k6CNTAEf787. Here Г is pronounced as a throaty H.
