Could "Belamena" etc. actually be "Bellarmina"? Bok, in his liner notes, confesses great uncertainty about the phonology of his informant.

The mystery remains why I happen to be aware of the name Bellarmina, which is not terribly common. In Google it comes up mostly in the name Schola Bellarmina of a men's chorus in Brussels that does Gregorian chant. Its Web site does not reveal how it got the name.
