About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1985, this dictionary of all the Cornish-language elements (totalling nearly 800) so far known to occur in the place-names of the county is the first such work to be attempted for any Celtic language. Over 4,000 Cornish place-names are cited and indexed, but the volume has a range extending beyond the limits of Cornwall, and will be of use to those studying Celtic place-names in other areas. There are also indexes of places outside Cornwall, and of Welsh and Breton cognates of the Cornish elements.
