Ewan,

  Dear Folks,

  Sadly my old rattle-bones of a computer just won't open up the link to this fascinating topic of  /l/ /ll/ and /lh/ sounds. Is the last one related in any way to Welsh /ll/? 

  References to both the late Seamus O'Coilean's Cornish thesis and Iwan Wmffre's Handbook are most tantalising. It's made me go back and look again at my cherished copy of Tavas A Ragadazow though I had made the decision to get seriously stuck into Unified once and for all while awaiting the finalised version of the  SWF  which I believe is due to be hammered out ( or finely honed?!) in 2012. I'm not sure why folk keep saying learning LC isn't easy. It strikes me as a deal simpler than dear, old UC.
  Incidentally, in pursuit of disciplined acquisition I had also decuded to do Hilary Shaw's course but I got no reply. Anyone have her current contact details? I'll include stamp for reply this time! 

  Pup bennath! ( ben nath?!)

  Ewan.

    Ken, 
    I’m not familiar with Seamus Ó Coileán’s thesis at all and would very much be interested in it. Where can I find it? Have you read Iwan Wmffre’s “Handbook of Late Cornish”? Also very interesting.

    A gowetha,

    I wonder whether any professional empirical studies have ever been undertaken on the remaining 'native speakers' of the West Penwith dialect.  People like Nance have urged that this dialect is the nearest thing we have to the sound system of late Cornish.   That said, it surely deserves some serious study, and I wonder whether there has been any serious proposal to research it.

    In 1990 Seamus O Coilean successfully presented a BA (Hons) by Independent Study thesis at the Polytechnic (now University) of East London, entitled 'Late Cornish - an accurate reconstruction for the sound system'.  I have read this and I wonder whether others are familar with it.  It presented some interesting and original ideas, and I would be interested to know what others may have thought about it.

      Is this one example the only evidence for "the survival of geminate [ll] in the St. Ives dialect of Anglo-Cornish well into the 20th century" (Bock 2010: 3)? Or is there further evidence?

      Ol an gwella (or should that be gwelha?)

      I must have mentioned the late Cecil Roberts of Sennen Cove, who would pronounce the LL of "Scilly' as though he were saying "still life". Dick Gendall heard and noted him, too. Terry George, also of Sennen Cove and the former lifeboat cox'n, pronounces "enys" (as in Enys Dodnan) as "ain-ez" ("ai" as in "air").
