This is a select list of Cornish dialect words in English—while some of these terms are obsolete others remain in use.〔(Phillipps, K. C. (1993) ''A Glossary of the Cornish Dialect'' ISBN 0-907018-91-2 )〕〔(Cornish dialect dictionary )〕 Many Cornish dialect words have their origins in the Cornish language and others belong to the West Saxon group of dialects: consequently words listed may not be exclusive to Cornwall.〔Little attempt has been made to record the districts where most of these words have been used except in a few cases of East, Mid, or West Cornwall, e.g. crib; crowst.〕 __NOTOC__ ==A== *Abroad - open: ''"Leave the door abroad, boy."'' *Addled - 1. spoilt, rotten 2. empty, cracked or broken; e.g. addled eggs *Ager - ugly (Zennor, in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''hager'') *Agerever - pollack (Marazion, in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''hager euver, ''meaning 'ugly useless')〔 *Aglets - hawthorn berries *Agone - ago; as in 'a week agone' (mid and east Cornwall) *Ake - a groove made on the stone of a ''killick'' (Mousehole, in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''ak, ''meaning 'a slit', or 'a cleft')〔 *Allycumpooster - all right (Camborne, in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''oll yn kompoester, ''meaning 'all in order')〔 *Anker - a small barrel (mining term, ultimately from Mediaeval Latin ''anceria'' (small vat" ) perhaps influenced by Cornish language ''keryn, ''meaning 'open barrel' or 'tub'. Compare Danish ''anker'' (barrel, wine cask, anker" )) *Ansome - lovely (from "handsome"); Me ansome ("my handsome") (familiar way to address a man) *Anvon - a hard stone on which large stones are broken (mining term, from Cornish language ''anwen, ''meaning 'anvil'))〔 *Areah, Arear, Aree faa - an exclamation of surprise (in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''revedh, ''meaning 'strange', 'astounding', or 'a wonder')〔 *Arish (also written (alternatively pronounced ) arrish, ersh, aish, airish, errish, hayrish and herrish) - arable field (from Middle English '' *ersch'', from Old English ''ersc'' (park, preserve; stubble-field” ), perhaps influenced by Cornish language ''arys'')〔 *Arish mow - a stack of sheaves (in use after the year 1800, from Cornish language ''arys'')〔 *Are 'em - are 'em/aren't they *Aye? - I beg your pardon?, yes?, what was that? *Ayes (pronounced, 'ace') - yes (see also: "Ess", below). Perhaps from Old Norse ''ei'' ("forever") + Old English ''sī(e)'' ("may it be"), like "yes" (which is from Middle English ''yes'', ''yis'', which is from Old English ''ġēse'', ''ġīse'', ''ġȳse'', '' *ġīese'' (of course, so be it” ), equivalent to ''ġēa'' ("so” ) + ''sī()'' (it be” )). Alternatively, a modification of "aye" based on "yes". Further, possibly a conflation of any (or all) of the previous, and "ess", which may represent a dialectal form of "yes". 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「List of Cornish dialect words」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
