He suggested instead that the name derived from ''gwylfa'', a watching place, noting its similarity with ''Brown Willy'', the name of the highest hill on nearby Bodmin Moor, and suggested that a watch for beacon fires used to be kept here. He also posited a possible link to the word ''gwili'' meaning winding or tortuous, but said it was unlikely this was where it originated from. ''The Place-Names of Devon'' (1931) notes that the peak was named ''Hight Wyll'' in a document of 1532, and was known in 1827 as ''High Willows''. The authors state that the name may simply be a compound of ''high'' and ''well'' (meaning ''spring''), though they admit that the additional syllable at the end is hard to explain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Willhays」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
