Histories that mention Unwana
These are published records whose own words name Unwana. A mention is not a history of Unwana, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it. Records already listed above are not repeated.
Read as: Unwana. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
