As do we all, Cromán (need the above), native speakers no less than non-,
so my point still stands: if such as on this list lay claim to knowing
enough of a Celtic language to expound at length on its features, how come
a reluctance to do what one might call the 'politically correct' or
'decent' thing in 2002, viz., to provide a brief summary of their own
thoughts in their target language, for the express benefit of its surviving
speakers (instead of laying that as an  additional burden on any native
translators)? Please note that it is at the express invitation of our
Moderator that suggestions on improving the Celtling list are coming in to
her, and this suggestion is hardly controversial in 2002!
