Re: Corrections was Re: Retranslation shortly

I have problems with writing Eviendadhail sometimes, but mostly it makes
sense to me.  My main problem is remembering vocabulary, especially
keeping straight similar words.
ObKerno:  It may be that Kerno is so much easier because it is more
familiar to you.  It is, after all, a Romance language.  I could
probably read it fairly well if I had to, with only my inadequate
knowledge of French.
