A wonderful piece of work, Sabrina! My congratulations (and compliments to
Eamon for his nice work, too)!

If I may allow myself to give you some suggestions:

First of all, give examples. They give the reader a closer understanding of the
language, and a stronger feeling of familiarity with it. Besides, lots of
examples make a grammar always look "juicier".

Secondly, I wouldn't categorize the numbers under "règles de grammaire".
Numbers are always the first thing I look for after finding a new conlang
website; in most cases, they have a header of their own (and that's the way it
should be :)) )

For the rest, beautiful work! "Lo Caperucito Rogio" would be a nice translation
exercise for other romlangers around here, too.

Ha! Yes, the vocabulary is always the tough part, eh? Wenedyk has 1,400 words
by now, but the link to its vocabulary is still dead.

I surely did!
