Yes, but in this case I was referring to Oscan and Umbrian only. Volscian AFAIK
is a much smaller language.

<sigh> Same thing here. I have to divide my conlanging time between three
languages plus IB... While Vozgian is currently under development, Wenedyk is
still far from ready, and Hattic is suffering a severe lack of attention ;) .
But for the remote future, I have several projects in mind, including this one
and a similar thing for Tocharian.

Hehe. I am starting to think that it is time for someone to create a P-Germanic
language :) .

Well, literally I would say: "Je~ mieje urzyk£a jad sona komód grzec" (to my
ears that sounds like Greek). Or "... komód chinióz" (... like Chinese).
