óuuana is correct, at least it's ou(ua)an(a) in Txts. (see ebook.lib.hku.hk SLASH CADAL SLASH B31418193 , Go to page 161 line 5). (a proper URL gets my message blocked as spam!)
"uu" is for "w" and the word is "áhwonan" after going through a different dialect, a medieval scribe, 1000 years of decay and a Victorian transcriber.
