I tend to agree with A. J. here. Not because it would be "easier", but
because the Revived language has a derivative.
The simplex is UC/UCR ünyk, KK unnik.
The derivative is UC ünykter [ʏˈnɪktər], UCR ünycter [ʏ
ˈnɪktər], KK unnikter "[ynˈɪktər]" [sic].
I do not find the word in RLC.
In KS we could write "udnek, unnek" 'eleven' and "udnyk, unnyk"
'unique' and "unycter" 'uniqueness'. Otherwise we should have to
change the neologism to "unecter".
Dan has "unicter" for the derivative, so I do not see why he should
think it logical to change the suffix in the simplex.
I think Dan is without warrant to introduce this change to the
vocabulary of Revived Cornish. No interpretation of the SWF
specification leads to the change of UC unyk, KK unnik to unnek.
