The UGCC primate is canonically, from Rome’s perspective, a Major Archbishop, but is internally, within the UGCC, honoured as a patriarch. Within the Romanian GGC how is the Major Archbishop commemorated / addressed internally?

Not that I have ever heard. The main disagreement about the RCURGC is its membership. (Catholics and Orthodox disagree widely in their estimates, which was mentioned even in
state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/2005/51575.htm :

According to the 2002 census, the Romanian Orthodox Church had 18,817,975 members (86.8 percent of the population). The Roman Catholic Church had 1,026,429 members. The Catholic Church of Byzantine Rite (Greek Catholics or Uniates) had 191,556 members. This figure is disputed by the Greek Catholic Church, which claims that there were many irregularities such as census takers refusing to note Greek Catholic affiliation and automatically assuming Orthodox affiliation, which led to an inaccurate result. The Greek Catholic Church estimated in 2003 that its adherents numbered more than 790,000.

)

But that aside, it ought to be noted that the RCURGC only became a Major Archiepiscopal Church in the last decade (December 16, 2005). Perhaps there just hasn’t yet been enough time for them to start using the P-word.

From the English text of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic* Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom posted on the Romanian Greek Catholic Mission site*RIEST: Again we pray for His Holiness, our universal Pontiff N . . . Pope of Rome, and for our most reverend Archbishop and Metropolitan N . . . , for our God-loving Bishop N . . ., for those who serve and have served in this holy church, for our spiritual fathers, and for all our brethren in Christ.
