The new cards are in italics. The cards are interpolated into the original sequence by inventing "Berglundic Numerals" instead of Roman Numerals: I is still 1, but V is 7, and X is 15. There are 38 cards, corresponding to the 38 letters of the Berglundic alphabet there were at the time. (Since then, I've adjusted the alphabet, and there is at least one of new letter which will need a new card.)
