How shall we spell this? Welsh has unassimilated <jazz> and
assimilated <jas> with <jasaidd> 'jazzy'.
In Cornish, unassimilated <jazz> is of course possible, but would be
properly italicized in print as a loanword. As an assimilated word =,
<jaz> and <jas> would be pronuounced identically, rhyming with <tas>
'father'. An adjective <jazek> or <jasek> might be derived for
'jazzy'.
