My impression is that both options are equally possible. In conlang
land, and especially among Romance conlangs, it seems that native
terms are used more often than English terms. Cf. Brithenig, Kerno,
Wenedyk, Slvanjec, etc. The opposite seems to be the case with Slavic
conlangs, BTW.

I've considered substituting the ogoneks with commas in
asciifications of Wenedyk. However, I decided against that,
especially because vowels with an ogonek appear often at the end of
the word; in which case it would easily be confused with a real
comma.

Duly noted.

Oh, when the Relay is over, you'll probably wish for a little/lot
less romance in your life! ;))
