LUAs dont have unique districts so it's a pretty safe bet that Eleanor won't.
But how do you sell the hell out of a contentious choice for a first dual leader?

Give her early rock bands in Troubadours lol
I'm still holding out hope her capital is Ṣūr, making "haMilkot Ṣūrīm" a possibility. "HaMilkot Kanaʿanīm" would be more general, though...I wonder if Dido will introduce herself as "haMalkat Qart Hadasht" (Queen of Carthage) or "haMalkat haKan'anim" (Queen of the Phoenicians).

On the one hand that would be another neat handicap, and would definitely satisfy when they claimed in the Maori livestream that there was another civ with a really interesting first 10 turns functionality, but on the other hand, part of me also feels like that might be absolute hell on the map creation algorithms - like, if they started inland, would they literally have to wander the land until they find the coast, kind of like a reverse-Maori?
To me it feels so obvious that the Cothon will replace the Harbor, that given the only thing holding us back from declaring that as the obvious thing is that we haven't seen them have 2 unique versions of a district yet. However, they do have multiple unique copies of the same building, so I don't see why not allow another Harbor replacement.
My guess? It will replace the Harbor, yet must be built inland, not on the coast. Not sure what other bonuses it will give (probably increased sea trade, maybe increased ship production, maybe available earlier as well). I could see it potentially also act like an encampment, as a "defensible district", if they want to give them another fun bonus too. If they really want to give them crazy bonuses, then the Cothon will replace the Canal, build on land on a coast, and Phoenecia will not be allowed to build Encampments OR Harbors. Basically, they get one district that they're allowed to build, but get screwed out of the other ones.
I still go back and forth whether it makes sense to also have them with some sort of "may only found cities on the coast" bonus.

I'm a language nerd.Also I love how you use the actual phonology
Isn't that what happens to Holy Sites if Kongo captures a city? I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.BUT, what happens to an inland harbor when another civ conquers your city? Does it just disappear? The first district to poof on conversion?

I am genuinely confused why people are adamant about it being a Canal replacement. Cothons are still largely coastal. They were literally harbors. They do not connect two bodies of water.
It's almost as if people insist on it being a Canal just for the sake of completeness even if it makes little sense and even if the "no duplicate replacements" has already happened with Temples.
