Notennow Kernewek
Notes on the meaning and use of Cornish words based on examination of the original texts.
While checking students’ work and text being prepared for publication, Cornish-language scholar and teacher Ray Edwards noticed that some of the words and some of the ways in which the language was being used did not always conform to what was found in the original Cornish texts.
Ray began compiling his Notennow Kernewek (‘Cornish Notes’) in 1997 as an aid for students and writers of Cornish, and many of the suggestions from his notes were used in Gerlyver Meur, a new Cornish dictionary published by the Cornish Language Board in 1998.
Originally in print, a new edition of Notennow was issued most years until 2004, when it moved to the website of Kernewek Dre Lyther, the Cornish language course founded by Ray in 1983.
The final online update to the notes was in 2006.
