Funny that you kept the substracting constructions for 18 and 19. Is it also
kept for bigger numbers? (that's to say, do you say ventz et nuv or undetrentz
for 29?)
Until now, Germanech looks quite a bit like French :)) .

Here again a correspondance with French, though we still have the
ubiquitous 'ce' demonstrative pronoun to use with 'ci' and 'là' :) .
