This is what I suspected too but I could not find any usefully
explanation for -sun
Does Manczak explain why he see there a combination of -e:ns and -a:num?
On another hand "old" in Vegliot was with the diphtong "ie" (vieklo) and
not "vekli". The "m" at the end of the "sum" will speak for mentaining
of the final consonants which should sound a bit strange too..
