[Spellyans] "understand" in Cornish

[nicholas williams]

I agree. That is why in Alys I wrote pednwysk 'headgear, hat' but  
penwysker 'hatter'. In the first the prefix is stressed, in the second  
never.
I agree that decisions need to be made about all items containing  
cam-, pen-, etc.

The word ùnderstondya has primary stress on the o and secondary stress  
on the ù. That means that in the compound
camùnderstondya the cam- is not stressed and should be spelt <cam>,  
not <camm, cabm>.
