usage in English per 100 million words:

BISHOP:  quantity 2,138  /  rank in English 4,094

EPISCOPAL:  quantity 233  /  rank in English 19,663.

So, 'bishop' is almost 10 times more frequent

than 'episcopal'; and consequently, in my opinion,

the LFN word for 'bishop' should be choosen first

and the LFN word for 'episcopal' should be derived from it.

therefore perhaps: bispo > bispal
