Taixoaan (Tai+oaan; 大員/大圓; Taiwan)

Reading of two historical Harnji forms for the name of Taiwan (see wikt).
Two other historical forms, 臺員/臺圓 (MTL: Taioaan; MTLP: Taai+oaan), sound like Taixoaan in the northern accent, historically found in Zoanciw, Hokkiexn.
The modern Harnji for Taioaan is 臺灣 (MTLP: Taai+oaan). Note: 灣 is almost always oafn (high tone), except here.
Another old variant is 臺窩灣 (MTL: Tai'Qoaan; MTLP: Taai+Qf+oaan).
