European

...is an auxiliaire language based on many natural languages, very known, or less, for exemple :

Indo-European → Germanic languages Old Francic, Old Norse, Swedish, Nynorsk, Bokmål, Danish, Icelandic, Anglo-Saxon, Middle English, Dutch, Faroese, West Flemish, Afrikaans, Saterland Frisian, Yiddish, Wymysorys...
→ Latin languages Latin, Old French, Old Spanish, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Old Occitan, Occitan, Picard, Walloon, Corsican, Romansh, Celtiberian...
→ Slavic languages Old Slavic, Serbian, Slovenian, Polish, Russian, Czech...
→ Baltic languages Latvian, Lithuanian.
Finno-Ugric → Finnic languages Finnish, Estonian, Vepse, Võro, Livonian, Northern Sami...
→ Ugric languages Magyar(Hungarian).
... And some other languages : Ancient-Greek, Persian, Hebrew, Kikuyu, or Tahitian...

However, the objective is, before all, to be understood by peoples speaking an European language (Basque is excluded).

There is a real different between "Primer" and "Först" :
"Primer" is a term that defined a preconceived list of which we know in advance its outcome.
"Först" is a term used to mark the fact that we do not know the exact number of entities in the list at the time of its conception.

Furthermore, it may be that we have planned a list of 9 lessons, in this case, we will say "Primer", however, in case we have the idea to finally introduce a 10th, which was not planned,
it is possible to indicate it also by changing infix "as" by "äs". But, it's impossible for "Segond", "Dwålft", "Dwånzekt", and all derived of "Four" (itself excluded of this exception ; Kwetförjäs).
Known listKymnesSudasTuhannesMileaMiljoneleaMiljardeleaEt cætera
Unknown listKymnäsSudäsTuhannäsMileäMiljoneleäMiljardeleäEt cæterä
... And can be combined or not, for exemple : "Sudäs toräs" or "Sudäs toras" or even "Sudas toräs", but it does not matter.
Anyway, this formulation is mostly written.

NSDT : Not specific defined term (but can be structured by other terms, exemple : 105 = Suta tusant or 100 000th = Sudas tuhannes)
