Almost certainly a realistic unlikelihood -- but then again, Ill Bethisad (the world where the Jervainois live) is full of such unlikelihoods! I'm sure there are plenty of others out there: I bet most (naive / young) conlangers who decide to base a Conlang off of Latin don't even know that Vulgar Latin exists. Or they think, like I once did, that it just means all the naughty words of Latin. ;) Padraic. spaltamananam mananaspaltar sactatray�y: p�tr�man potr�y sactafilt�y; camtamanstapurncanar ecca�astahtasactacatliq�xawi�taq��ax�ttasactafolyan holtanite-co holtanihal-to carxxaralhan tlasolimtalhan. xomin.
