My Ausónya is PIE as it should be : ). But I'm hearing a new language when I
read something in ausonian... guess I'm going to create another language
from it, more mine...

Never heard this verb before... do you know the latin form? Portuguese have
this kind of verb... caber: caibo; dizer: digo; perder: perco; medir: meço;
remir: redimo. I like it... well, but I hear it since the world is spheroid.
