>>Really? I'd be interested in your reporting her
translation!
It's always amazed me that French speakers seem
to have the least trouble with Kerno.

I found it very easy to understand, and I'm only in my fourth year of
learning French as a second language. I think it's funny that it surprises
you, as in the sample you gave us, there're a lot of direct or very close
cognates with French:
nom
ast~ Fr. est
et
terra~ Fr. terre
sont
ma seiur~ Fr. ma soeur
"Vratheor" is close enough (in my strange mind anyways;) ) to the English
"brother" that it didn't pose a problem. Oh, and Gouilliame is very
French, too. I couldn't understand much of the first one, tho. : /
