Hasn't Carrejina underwent more name changes? I also have notes about
Cardajiñinsa and Cartajeño, both carrying your name. And I found the following
set of numbers: unus, duos, tres, baduro, pimi, secse, septe, opto, nove, dese.
Is this still the same language, or should these be considered separate
projects?

Well, at least Wenedyk does that. Besides, the name of the language violates
several of its phonological rules. Actually, it should have been Wniedzik
(yak!) or perhaps Wien'dzik. No, I definitely like Wenedyk better, so let's
attribute that strange inconsistency to foreign influence.
