Gotcha. So, not VL vs. PR; but from VL to PR. It
begs the question, though: what's the actual
difference between VL and PR?

Kerno has "a(d)", "amar" and "arveyn" (up
towards) for "towards". "Do" can come close as
well.

The closest thing would be "gouerses", which
means twisted or turned. I.e., ppl of gouerter.
Never quite attempts the leap to "towards".

Brithenig has "gwers", though, so it's possible
that Kerno might also have had it once.
