Pur dha! Gaz my dh'y ewnhe tamm …

"My a drig" yw gwellyz yn fenowgh mez "trigyz ov yn …" yw gwella. This is the usual idiom and seems to mean something like "I am settled/established in …"

"Yma gwreg dhymm (kepar) ha diw vyrgh" The numeral 'two' has a femine form. It is followed by the singular which it soft-mutates.

"neppyth" = neb + pyth = "something"
"nebonan = neb + onan = "someone"
"nebez" = "a few, some"

Dell hevel dhymm ty a vynn leverel "My a wayt kavoez nebonan/nebez tuz"
"rag kewsel Kernewek genev" to speak C. with me.

Yw hemma dhe les dhys? Yma lies yethow koynt kewsyz yn Arizona, py yethow a wodhas konvedhez?

All I need is for the dictionary to be larger. :)
And maybe plurals for nouns.

Either derive it from its roots… dis-serve from old french dis-servir which could render something very similar diservir?

Or,

Perhaps using something more colloquial, Afters - wesigow fromwosa + igow

or as in Welsh pudding~pwdin, podin

From Sustenadow we could use Sustenadewder bit of a mouthful but follows excepted patterns.

A struggle is sort of less than a fight so, omledhik

Struggle by NosdanNosdan, 06 Jul 2008 09:12

I was thinking the keskorra, already used for 'to put together' could mean juxtapose as well. And perhaps juxtaposition could be keskorrva, a more adverbial form could be a-geskorrva ~ In juxtaposition.

An fauvists a geskorras liwyow grev~The fauvists juxtaposed strong colors

Sad would probably fit and Sadya would work for the verb, this would also tie into the welsh Sad, Sadio(v)

Re: Steady by NosdanNosdan, 16 May 2008 21:51

I had kind of got attached to Anostya :P Oh well, I sort of agree… Ostya does that come from ost was that an English/French loan from Host…?

I don't like Disevel its definetly more suited to upset, or to unstand something!

Diglena, distaga and dilea sound more like your suggestions, unstick, unfasten and remove/delete respectively…

Disedha might work??? But as you say, its very similar to desedha, you could use an(e)sedha I think it works better without the first e of esedha. Wether thats permissible though???

Yth ansedhis an garrek gans ow throes

Re: Dislodge by Anonymous (90.205.84.x), 07 May 2008 21:56

Hmm, interesting. My first thought was disevel which is in the texts, but that really means 'upset from a standing position, tip/trip up'. Perhaps disedha 'unseat' would do sometimes, but maybe not if the object is really well and truly stuck as opposed to just fitted into place. In any case disedha would perhaps be too similar to desedha which means almost exactly the opposite. I'm not too happy about extending (an)ostya beyond human lodging. Are we perhaps too hung up on English here. Perhaps we just need different words for unstick (diglena, distaga), unfasten (distaga), remove (dilea) etc.?

Ive also found reference to guiden old Cornish for a collar (presumably made of sticks) With welsh Cognate gwden this translates as a withe in English, a twisted rope made of willow. - I'm guessing this would then be gwiden in Kemmyn?

This is a word that I think we should NOT translate, rather spell accordingly. It comes from Spanish meaning little sheath, from a reduced Latin Vagina. So a hypothetical Goenik ~ Little sheath? or perhaps Kedhik Little pod.

I would be happier with something like Vanylla?

Are you trying to differentiate between a tortoise and a turtle? You already have Melhwyoges for tortoise, a turtle is a sea going tortoise… So Melhwyoges an mor. The welsh have Crwban (for both i think), and I have seen Tim Saunders using Croban I would think from the welsh. I think im right that this in kemmyn would be Croeban
