[Spellyans] i ~ y

Breton is not Cornish, Steve, and has a very different history from  
Cornish.
It is not relevant here.

I am not clear about your position. First you said there was only one  
phoneme.
Now you say there were two, but that the distinction was neutralised  
in 'polysyllabic finals.' That is
a very different thing indeed. I am confused.
Please explain what you mean.
