Ne, speck, pass, punt, pepil, outh, nien, bril,
click, cuech, om, jot, pick, point, sild, mech,
non, puiyns, nonck, rhen, riz. Those are just the
one's I know about.
Y veneor ke n' ast bril ce yan andevista o
diarchista o tory loquista!
Tory loquista = right wing kook. And to give
equal time: trots / snory dondon = SNORist
weirdo, Laveor bongo = Labour bozo, Il Idiota =
Jowan Prestow, well known political hack whose
usual answers to questions is "Ke?", "Errrr" and
"s'ncli'". [This last is terrible Kerno (though
reminiscent of French agglutinativity) for "ne
savem click = I don't know"; but at least it's
sort of disyllabic, and Prestow doesn't do well
with such long utterances.]
Oh, yes. "Bril" and "click" are negative
particles used with verbs concerning mental
activities of some sort.
Cool. That one gave rise to a score of new
religious words. To say nothing of all the
political words...

nitener, v2.
Mais, ieo nitendría lâ, non contrastant y rhisq.
non contrastant y rhisq = risks notwithstanding.
