I have reportedly been spotted in the bus and/or subway, on various 
occasions, reading one or more of the following: Padraic's Kernu 
Grammar, Ben Madison's Talossan dictionary and grammar, James 
Campbell's Jameld dictionary and Sally's Teonaht lessons and 
vocabularies. Not to mention various auxlang stuff such as literary 
works in Esperanto. However, I decline to either confirm or refute 
these rumors!

I'm holding out for "Teach Yourself Kerno", myself! :-)

Actually, one aspect of Kerno which I have found tough is working out 
pronunciation from the orthography. Do the rules from the Grammar of 
the literary language generally hold true for the colloquial language 
as well? Or could I pester you for a sample passage with transription 
in X-SAMPA? :)
