"culmen"), so at first glance it looks like a transparent Vlach name. But Balkan Romance reflects velar+dental clusters as ...

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

Re: Adverb Diachronics Question
Romanian does it. All adverbs are morphologically just masculine adjectives. There are very rare cases where they end in "mente" and these are just recent borrowings from other Romance languages (most likely French); however, one can always use "mente" to form adverbs, but that adds and extra sarcas...

Re: Substituting Diacritics
In Romanian they're usually left out completely in informal writing. However, you can usually spot some "tz"s and "sh"s to differentiate between words, e.g. " fată - faţă " girl - face ; " mâţă - mată - mata " cat - mat/opaque - you , and such like. It can usually lead to ambiguous phrases and words...

In order for the save button to work, you have to type a filename into the box next to it (or select something from the list, but the list only comes up if there is a .cdic file in the current directory). The load button only works if there is a file to load in the current directory. oh yes, it wor...

This piece of software is indeed very handy, thank you! I downloaded everything and all installed neatly. Apparently everything works just fine, but the Load/Save buttons. It wouldn't do anything when I click the buttons. Now, without these two magical functions the program is mostly useless. :( Hja...
