Uh, that's the _glossary_.  Its contents are not related to LilyPond's
input language, and indeed, you would not be able to enter most of the
given notenames into LilyPond unchanged (assuming proper language
setting).  Including the English notenames, by the way.  We actually
could allow note names like c-sharp with the current definition of word
syntax, but I doubt we'd be doing anybody a favor with that.
