Yes, Padraic has drawn one and placed it on the net.  Refer to him.

Not yet.  Throw a couple of (Neo)Latin or Celtic names for them at me
and I can see if I can figure them out.  Preston does have the
alternative of being Prestatyn.

There is an overlap between the Danelaw and Kemr.  I don't know at this
stage whether this effected Brithenig placenames.  Kemr lost the
suzereignty of Northumbria which it shared with Mercia to the Danelaw.

Not any more!

Frank Valoczy did construct a cognate language in that area but it is
not currently active.
