No need for that because whatever is published on Outlook Express gets
published on websites any way, so why contruct one.

You can do it by studying place-names. You will find that it was the same
as
Medieval Welsh with a few minor sound changes. ***bric also adopted
Scandinavian words, which have passed into Welsh via ***bric, such as
pranc
and prancio. This ability of ***bric to borrow loan words from other
languages solves the problem of how to translate the international words
of
science and technology, you just use the international words using
Welsh/***bric spelling, hence telefision for television, and sinema for
cinema, firws for virus, and so on (pron. veerus). Two ***bric plural
endings have survived.-I and -OW. hence telefisioni, firwsow for viruses,
and sinemai for cinemas. There are also a lot of ***bric dialect words in
Scots and North English dialect such as brat, brant, brisk, etc., and even
in Standard English such as balderdash, sham, bucket, pail, etc. There
must
be two or three thousand of surviving ***bric words.

Well if you learn how to do it from me that I will have two followers, and
you will have two hundred, and so it will grow.

Yes, very good, I will think about common phrases. My life has always been
chaotic and it is so difficult to get anything done.
