Do you have a background for Vennish worked out?  I notice that some
words seem connected to English/Germanic equivalents (like fihnd
"find"), while some seem French/Latin/romance like (I remember nomen
"name" from a pervious post, and some of the numbers rather remind me
of French.)  Is there an explanation or a story behind this?

By the way, I find the spelling of Vennish rather difficult to read.
