I think it was me who wrote this thing, more than one year ago. But I did not have in mind to offend anybody, just
did not see the necessity to gothicize words like "nosferatu". This word, for instance, became an international word,
and almost all languages, I think, keep it like that. So maybe it could be taken also in Neo-Gothic without change...
just "nosferatu".
