[Bug localedata/12676] ln_CD: new locale

I had a look at his version. Now, I have some questions and suggestions:

/1/ If name_miss is Mamà and name_mrs is Mamà name_ms could also be MamÃ
(instead empty).

/2/ For name_gen, you write Mbote. Wiktionary use the following spelling:
MbÉÌtÉ (https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/mb%C9%94%CC%81t%C9%9B)

/3/ Question about (name_fmt): %m is described as Additional given names.
Usually, this is a second firstname. In the Congo, this could be the Postnom.
Or is the Postnom integrated in %F Family names?

/4/ (thousands_sep): is ther really nothing? Shouldn't be a space?

/5a/ Month (mon): They are different as f.ex. in wikipedia (lines 1/2; line 3
from ln_CD local):
yanwÃli febwÃli mÃrsi   aprÃli  mÃyà    yÃni    yÃli    augÃsto sÉtÉÌmbÉ       
ÉkÉtÉÌbÉ        novÉÌmbÉ                dÉsÉÌmbÉ
*yambo  *mÃbalà *mÃsÃto *mÃnei  *mÃtÃno *motÃbà *nsambo *mwambe *libwà  *zÃmi  
*zÃmi na mÉÌkÉÌ *zÃmi na mÃbalà (*=SÃnzà ya...)
*moko   *mibale *mÃsÃto *minei  *ÃtÃn  *motÃba *sambo  *mwambe *libwà  *zÃmi  
*zÃmi na moko   *zÃmi
Different spelling in jan, feb, apr, mai, jul, nov, dec (probabely errors in
ma, dec).

/5b/ The similare case with (day) (line 1 from wikipedia, line 3 from ln_CD
local):
lomÃngo mosÃlà mÉÌkÉÌ   mokÉlÉ mwa misÃlà mÃbalà         mokÉlÉ mwa misÃlÃ
mÃsÃto       mokÉlÉ mwa misÃlà mÃnei mokÉlÉ mwa misÃlà mÃtÃno         mokÉlÉ
mwa mpÉÌsÉ
lomÃngo lendà           mokolo mwa mÃbalà        mokolo mwa mÃsÃto             
mokolo mwa mÃnei        mokolo mwa mÃtÃno        mokolo mwa mposo
Different spelling at mokÉlÉ/mokolo; Monday (if lendà [lÉndÃ?] as borrowing
from french is used, why not f.ex. yanwÃli, febwÃli, mÃrsi, etc. for the
months?) and Saturday mpÉÌsÉ/mposo.

/5c/ I checked some of this words in the new dictionary Dico+ (by Prof. Musanji
Ngalasso-Mwatha, Prof. Crispin Maalu-Bungi (CELTA), Donzo Bunza, Matumele
Maliya, Ayibite Pela Asey, Epanga Pombo, Eyupar Epietung, Isabelle Nsenga).
They use the same spelling as wiktionary/wikipedia. And for the months, they
use the names as yanwÃli, febwÃli, mÃrsi, etc.  SÃnzà ya mÃbalÃ, etc. is used
to explain and in some cases/months only als variant.

/6/ (abday) is abvrated as m2, m3, ..., but abmon not s2, s3, but sÃnzÃ2.,
sÃnzÃ3. (including full stop). This seams not consistently.

Best regards
