Re: [romanceconlang] Get-To-Know Translation Exercise

In the Venedic text, 
read   £    as   l-stroke
       ã    as   a-ogonek
       e~   as   e-ogonek
       n'   as   n-acutus
       z'   as   z-acutus

The X-SAMPA not 100 % correct, but at least gives an impression. I'll try to
record something, but I have never done that before, so it might take a while.

That makes 11 new words. Thanks, Christian!
