Hehe! :-)

Very nice! :-)  I like [kroZ] very much.

That seems to be the first occasion to test my GMP for the
Icelandic-Romance lang, I think.  I still need to apply some
shifts by hand, but maybe they become something like:

Neroneus   > Nérunir     ['nje:rYnIr]
Claudius   > Kleyðir     ['klei):DIr]
Germanikus > Gjarmankur  ['carmaNkYr]

This is still very preliminary, though.
