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|.
Given the page's listing of AQUA > apă, maybe it is restricted to before /a/ if it is not general? Greek did something similar.
