Indeed, I'm envious! ;)) I've received all kinds of attention for Wenedyk by
now, but nobody has ever sent me a message in it!
I like "wahh", BTW.

Well, I don't think that should necessarily be a flaw. In Brithenig, _ll_ seems
to be much more frequent than _l_, but I can't say it disturbs me. Likewise,
_l\_ (l-stroke) is in Wenedyk much more frequent than _l_ (which sometimes does
disturb me).
