Well, I guess you could say there is some
difference. "Kernu" is an old spelling
(reflecting a very ancient pronunciation) and is
the name I used to refer to the literary
language.

When I decided to persue the spoken language, I
used the spoken form of the name: "Kerno".

Regardless, it/they is/are Romance, though the
numbers do show some Celtic influence. The
numbers are the same in both forms.
