That is right, but it still does not explain the name of languages.
Since you are speaking a romance, me too ( do I?:-)), it should be easy
to follow a bit the "sound" for Veklisun. Can you show some simmilar, or
appropiate adjectives which ens in -sun from LAtin or just we have to
keep it for a "specifical vegliot feature"?

BTW, which should be the etymoplogy of the South Slavic ( Serbian and
Bulgarian ) "velik"= big?
