Order of translated equivalents

After much discussion over which criteria should be given precedence, the following order for Cornish entries

under English headwords has been decided:

1. Untagged words – which are by denition common to both Revived Middle and Revived Late

Cornish – will be given priority over tagged forms, i.e. they will be listed rst.

2. Leaving tags aside, the basic order is as follows:

a. attested words of Cornish/Brythonic origin; e.g. kamm~kabm

L

‘crooked’ < Br. kambo-

b. assimilated borrowings; e.g. eglos ‘church’ < Lat. ecclesia

c. neologisms based on Cornish roots; e.g. gwiasva ‘web-site’ < gwias ‘web’ + -va ‘place’

d. unassimilated borrowings; e.g. leper, pl. lepers ‘leper’

3. Similar criteria apply to the names of countries; e.g. Pow an Sowson and Pow Sows precede the

unassimilated borrowing Inglond.

Please note that this particular order isn’t used universally in this PDF but will be implemented step by step in

the online and printed dictionaries.

M (‘Middle’) and L (‘Late’) tags

Today’s Cornish speakers use several dierent forms of the language. This applies to the spoken varieties as

well as to orthographic systems. Basically, two positions can be identied, one at each end of the continuum

that includes all kinds of spoken Cornish: Revived Middle Cornish (RMC) and Revived Late Cornish (RLC). In order

to make things a bit clearer to learners, two tags have been chosen to mark words that are perceived as either

exclusively Revived Middle Cornish (marked

M

) or Revived Late Cornish (marked

L

). Words that are in use across

dierent groups of speakers with both RMC and RLC backgrounds are thought of as ‘common’ and are therefore

not marked by any tag. Tags apply until the next semicolon or full stop or until the end of the entry – whichever

comes rst, e.g.

poor adj boghosek; boghojek

L

. poor person boghosek m, boghosogyon; boghojek

L

m, boghojogyon

In the example, the adjective boghojek and the noun boghojek m, boghojogyon are marked as ‘Late’.

While in theory RMC and RLC may be dened as sharply distinct varieties of Cornish, the language spoken by

many today is situated somewhere in between. For example some users of Middle Cornish-based orthographies

(see the following table) will pronounce Middle Cornish long nn in words like penn ‘head’ as dn and say pedn,

which is normally considered a feature of RLC. The SWF does not have a bias towards any end of the continuum

and tagging is simply meant to help people choose forms that suit their style of Cornish. All kinds of Cornish are

encouraged. Tagging provides additional information and makes forms that have hitherto been used by only

one group available to everybody.

Revived Middle Cornish and Revived Late Cornish – an overview

Orthography (Abbr.) Based on the Cornish of... Represents

Unied Cornish (UC) c. 1350-1500 (Middle) RMC

Kernewek Kemmyn (KK) c. 1350-1500 (Middle) RMC

Unied Cornish Revised (UCR) c. 1550-1600 (Late Mid) RMC; some RLC features

Kernûak Noweja (KN) c. 1650-1750 (Late) RLC

Traditional graphs

This dictionary always writes <k> for /k/, <hw> for /ʍ/ or /hw/, and <-i> for word-nal /i/. It is recognized that

a considerable number of Cornish speakers prefer to write so-called ‘traditional graphs’ such as universal word-

nal <-y>. If you are a user of UC, UCR, Revived Late Cornish or if you use ‘traditional graphs’ when writing the

SWF, please refer to the following table:

‘Traditional’ ‘Main’

(UC/R, RLC, SWF/T) (used in ocial MAGA publications such as this one)

c before a, o, u, l, r → k

qw (or: qu) → kw

x → ks

wh → hw

unstressed nal -y → -i

Upcoming online and printed editions

This PDF marks the state of the SWF dictionary database as of 26 January 2018. This applies the changes agreed

as part of the 2014 Review to the previous version of the dictionary dated 1 May 2012.

A new online dictionary, using this January 2018 version, will be published in April 2018. Feedback, corrections

and the additional of new items are the responsibility of the Akademi Kernewek and should be sent to the

Cornish Language Oce (cornishlanguage@cornwall.gov.uk) to be referred on to the Akademi.
