So... could anyone successfully preserve the neuter in his/her romlang? I try to do that for a few words (not more than 100, among them lo latte , milk), at least for the conservative Buonavalle-dialect until the Middle Ages.

Where you'd get /ɴ/ from is another good question if we're going down that root. As Dezinaa points out in an earlier post, /ŋg/ could lead to to /ŋ/, and going down a similar root, /ɴ/ could come from /ɴɢ/, which could be an allophonic realisation of /nɢ/. The /ɢ/ there could come from post-nasal v...
