Talk:List of Cornish dialect words

Place name elements

edit

should place name elements really be included? Ones that were actually used in the dialect with their meaning, like Carn - a pile of rocks, sure, but most were not that I'm aware of. Bodrugan (talk) 00:24, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps they are out of place here; no objection to their removal.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:34, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wisht as a winnard

To what does this Cornish phrase refer? A Redwing as this article suggests, or the whinchat bird, See the BBC website referenced below, or a Peregrine Falcon, as in Birds of Cornwall the North Cornwall paragraph. I suspect it's the whinchat.[1]BeckenhamBear (talk) 09:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

A redwing, have added a citation, see also my answer to your question on Talk:Birds of Cornwall. DuncanHill (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Some of the additions made recently look more like general English colloquialisms than specially current in Cornwall.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:36, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
