CORNISH FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

Supplementary to Gerlyver Kescows – A Cornish Dictionary for Conversation

Second Edition

By Ian Jackson

Last updated: 11 June 2024 (14:00)

The purpose of Kescows Nebes Moy is to enable Cornish conversation about most non-specialist subjects without the need to switch into English. A first edition appeared in 2018. Cornish vocabulary items not found in Gerlyver Kescows were presented for the first time in classified lists that take the learner beyond elementary vocabulary, enabling conversation about more technical topics that nonetheless form part of everyday life.

The first edition was necessarily quite experimental, and was confined to just five thousand entries. Much has been learned since the first edition appeared. This second edition is being developed in expanded form here on-line. In particular we are considering families wishing to speak Cornish in the home, as well as the challenge of establishing potential for teaching through the medium of Cornish in primary and secondary schools.

You can search for what you want, by Cornish or English word, using find on page or ctrl f.

We are very grateful to Professor Nicholas Williams and Michael Everson for the opportunity to coordinate these lists with latest drafts of their Gerlyver Brâs.

If you are supportive of revived traditional Cornish and the Kernowek Standard spelling system, please let us know in the event you find any errors or think something might be improved.

CORNISH-ENGLISH SECTION

A word has a single stress accent on the penultimate syllable in the absence of any specific indication. When this accent falls elsewhere, the underlined vowel marks the syllable which is stressed. The symbol ‖ after a word indicates that, instead of a single stress accent, two syllables of the word are given prominence. In the case of a disyllabic word the prominence is usually slightly stronger on the adjectival element.
