Proposed records and registration forms for 639-2 changes (long)

[CE Whitehead]

Hi.
These are already in the registry, and the registration changes here involve just a name change, but as M. Lang Gerard has pointed out, these are strange geographic collections.
No objection is registered by me however; just a note!
(Of all things that need a comment, I think these qualify.)

that this is a family albeit a disputed one)
