As soon as I read through the whole page, I'll do that! ;))

Hm. The latest new thing I found there was an interesting East-Germanic
language, Dekavurian. But that is already some months ago.

Quite fascinating! Do I get the impression that Paesan is slightly more archaic
than Brithenig? Is there a Kerno version too?
Who made these two translations, by the way? You or Andrew?

Hmmm. I feel a translation into Wenedyk coming...

Interesting text. I admit that I had never seen it before, and the books I own
about apocryphical texts don't mention it, IIRC. Or I simply didn't notice ;) .

Are you implying that *there's* Bible is different from ours? Are certain other
apocryphical works canonical *there*?

"Venedion"? That sounds Tolkienesque! Hmm, something to consider...
Don't worry too much about Venedino, BTW. Don't forget that Esperanto was born
in the RTC, and - no matter how much I fight it - is still popular there.
Criticism Zamenhof, or trying to improve Esperanto, is considered an
unforgivable kind of heresy. So be warned!

Just wait until you see the first samples of Venedino. It's extremely easy!
Some auxlangs claim that they can be learnt in two days, but Venedino goes much
further: you don't need to learn it at all!!

> Padraic.
BTW, How is "Padraic" pronounced?
