The problem is that I do not know *how* it sounds : ) John Cowan, in an offlist message, hinted me a page with a Romanian text. I know almost nothing about its historical trivia. I know, OTOH, that it uses agglutinated articles, the verb 'to want' as a future tense auxiliary verb (an areal feature, found in Greek and Modern Bulgarian, AFAIK - btw, I use it agglutinated as well) and some other cool constructions, besides the case system. So you'll have: curmu = raven curmul = the raven and: eu îmu = I love eu amirolu = I will love < amîr volu = I want to love Luca
