I like it! There does seem to be some Gaelic influence on the orthography. :) Actually, the thing that really made me smile was the fact that your word for castle, creach, is a Gaelic word meaning "plunder, pillage, ravage, spoil, loot, etc." -- there's a very common exclamation "mo chreach!" (lit. "my ruination!") which corresponds more or less to the English "my goodness!" I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thomas
