Gwreans an Bys -- The Creacon of the World

The Creation of the World -- Gwrians an Bys

These files have been prepared from an MS-Word document of the KDL edition of Gwreans an Bys (August 2000), which was kindly supplied by Ray Edwards of Kernewek Dre Lyther. Meur yw an gendon warnon ni oll dhe Ray ha'y skoedhoryon yn KDL, neb re dhellos brassa rann a'n tekstow bys omma.

The only significant change I have made to the material is to revert to Stokes' (1864) original line numbers, even though he miscounts here and there. This is because these are the numbers used in references to CW in all the standard Cornish dictionaries. The differences are never more than a couple of lines and a table of correspondences is provided below. I have added the occasional note enclosed between "{" and "}"

The document has been divided into the following files :
