Sounds great! You know, it's really pleasant for me to
try and read Brithenig aloud, since it has so much Romance
sound to me... I'm not sure if I can explain... It's like
being in a strange country and suddenly running across an
old guy from old ages and hearing him speak something you
recognize as a bit *yours*... Like pleasant nostalgia.
Does that make sense?
