An outstanding piece of work. Very nice, indeed! It looks natural,
consistent, attractive... As a matter of fact, this is exactly the kind of
conlang that I like. It gives me the impression of a perfect mix of Latin
and Wulfila's Gothic, so it would perfectly fit within a Brithenig-like
kind of universe, were the Romans occupied Gothic territory and merged with
the local culture (instead of the opposite, as happened historically).

I just cannot entirely comprehend HOW such a mediaeval language got to
Jupiter, of all places! Any place would be more logical than that!

This was not meant to be a complaint.

Cheerio,
