Oddly, I was just about to post some questions about Rumanian.  I was
stuck in the mall yesterday and happened across a Rumanian grammar in
the bookstore . . . nice and concise, pretty much perfect for my
purposes, but it doesn't have anything about pronunciation.  If someone
could point me at a guide to the orthography, I'd appreciate it.

Also, that etymology page isn't up to P yet . . . what is the origin of 
patru = 4?  It looks like it could come from the Latin with |qu|->|p|,
but elsewhere it looks like |qu|->|c|.
