GERVA – GLOSSARY

Definitions have generally been confined to those relevant for the story. To keep the glossary to a manageable length the listing excludes the most common words. These are best looked up in Gerlyver Kescows (Ian Jackson).

If you need grammar, by far the most helpful book is Desky Kernowek (Nicholas Williams, Evertype 2012).

The system of notation in the following list is the same as in Gerlyver Kescows 2nd edition. In particular, the symbol ‖ indicates a word with two stresses of more or less equal force, and an underlining shows a single stress when it does not fall on the penultimate syllable of the word.
