As a matter of fact, "jetrzen'" is regularly derived from "aeternum". Any
similarity to existing Polish words is merely coindicental :)
But seriously, having about 200 words now I noticed how suspiciously close some
Wenedyk words come to their Polish equivalent, even in cases where I had never
suspected cognacy (is that a word?).

Really? It is what I found on http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/polish.htm
(with one exception, but AFAIK [s'] and [s_j] can be considered synonyms.
Anyway, what I mean is the Polish pronunciation. I am curious about the proper
SAMPA representation.

Thanks. Here at work I get a lot of boxes, no matter which encoding I try, but
then, I don't have Thryomanes here. As soon as I come home I will try to
download it and have a look again. Do you happen to know where I can find it?
