==History==
===Etymology===
The most plausible origin for the Staynish word "Cukish" is a borrowing from the word ''çéqi'' ("island") and its older forms ''chwéqir'' and ''cohwéqir''. The term ''chwéqirle''(''t'') ("from/proper of the islands") was a common demonym in Cukish texts dating from the 9th to 15th centuries, when it became less frequent in favour of the current standard ''Livaléns''. ''Livaléns'', on the other hand, means "the new people": the term was used in the 1275 Nárilethál for the first time, referring to the arrival of the Cukish to the New Leganes archipelago.
