That is curious. I even try to find such expresions.Rosetti could not
give any, Vasiliu too, but there are for sure other people. I will
keep it on my desk for searcing. But I am very afraid there is no
forms like "en-abante", "en - ad -post", "en -eccum-occe", "en-de-
retro" and so on. OK, I will search next week for this stuff.

I agree. Otherways it shouldn't be called Latin anymore.And that
language was spoken indeed in Roma for a while:-)
Even in German< we say " die sprechen ja Kölsch" for the dialect from
Koeln, but this is still a german language even if very hard to
understand-:)
