[Spellyans] kal revisited

[ajtrim at msn.com]

This looks like a good compromise solution that keeps to the spirit of the agreements made for the SWF.
It also distinguishes this word <kal'> ~ <cal'> "penis" from <kall> ~ <call> "crook" and <kall> ~ <call> "tungstate of iron".
If you were mad at someone, and you called them a "liar", it would be useful (in writing, at least) to know quite how far you wanted to take the possible insult.
Perhaps this is the real reason for the <gh>. 


Regards,

Andrew J. Trim

That's good advice. I will put <kal', cal'> in as my main entry and add *kalgh with anasterisk in green as a possible early Middle Cornish (reconstructed) form. I give the plural <kalyow, calyow> and add *kalhyow in green.

"In the short term, Dan, the SWF will give you <calgh> and <cal'>. I think innovation on your part to <call> would be going too far.
