Thanks for your thanks, Reinhard. De nada, com muito prazer.

About this A-site's motto <hold fast!>, wasn't that <hold vast> with a <v>
at first, or am I mistaken? Another thing: I don't want to spoil it, but
I saw some TV documentaries about the Netherlands in WW II, e.a about the
NSB, the Dutch political party that collaborated with the Nazi occupiers.
Their slogan <hou zee!>(or <houzee>?)" reminded me a bit of <hold fast!>,
the same rhythm, same number of words, I don't know... I just hope that no
outsiders will associate the A-site's motto with something like that,
especially none that would approve with such a resemblance. Anyway,
of course they would soon find out how tolerant and multicultural we are.

Ingmar

btw: with the language samples, can Interlingua still be under Romance and
Middelsprake under Germanic, too? Next to constructed, I mean

Moyen, Ingmar!

The latter.  The <f> version is the only one understood throughout the
"territory,"  _ook güntsyds den Kanaal un dat Grote Water_.

Oh, thanks for telling me now, after I created all them lovely buttons!  ;-)
Anyway, I hardly think the association is that strong.  Or am I deluded?

All righty then, since you've been so helpful.  It's done, and this applies
to James' Jameld version also.

Thanks again!
