So, what's the difference between "il" and "ill", "y" and "ils", etc. Is this a matter of non-standard spelling? Of dialect? Could both versions exist in one and the same text? Has it anything to do with the initial vowel/consonant of the next word? Speaking of non-standard spelling: I already found six versions of the word "fifteen": "couintheck", "cyntheck", "pymptheck", and "pyngthack" in the vocabulary, and now "cuyntheck" and "couenze" in the grammar. And only in the case of "pymptheck" you add the text "prov.". It seems that Kerno is really on the verge of Romance, P-Celtic and Q-Celtic. > As of now, it's only the chief paradigms > (articles, nouns, verbs, etc.); I hope to get up > some descriptive information soon.
