My a scrifas oll an jedh – whedhel en dew davas rag flehes. Otta tabm anodho. Martesen, aswonys ew an whedhel genowgh. Mesen a godhas war bedn (po lost) edhnik bian. Ev a vetyas gen nebes edhyn erel, ha war an diwedh anjei a vetyas gen lowarn (henwys Lostek-Plostek). Na veu aga destnans lôwen.

I wrote all day – a story in two languages for children. Here’s a bit of it. Perhaps, you are familiar with the story. An acorn fell on the head (or tail) of a little chick. He met several other birds, and in the end they met a fox (called Foxy-Loxy). Their destiny was not happy.

 

En termyn eus passyes

there was a little chick called Edhnik-Ledhnik.

One day he was in the woods and an acorn fell on his head.

 

Soweth! Ma’n ebòrn ow codha.

My a vedn pònya ha’y leverel dhe’n metêrn.

Oh dear! The sky is falling.

I will run and tell the king.

 

On the way he met Yarik-Larik.

Lôwena dhis, a Edhnik-Ledhnik.

Rag fraga thesta ow pònya?

Hello, Chicken-Licken.

Why are you running?

Soweth! Ma’n ebòrn ow codha.

Res ew dhebm y leverel dhe’n metêrn.

Oh dear! The sky is falling.

I must tell the king.

 

My a vedn dos genes, dhana.

Nei a vedn pònya ha’y leverel dhe’n metêrn.

I will come with you, then.

We will run and tell the king.

 

So Chicken-Licken and Henny-Penny ran to tell the king that the sky was falling down.

I am not a fine poetess and my verses are not refined poetry. I would prefer to write songs, but I don't know how to compose the music. I am not a composer. It's hard to get rhymes for some words. Can I remember rhymes? I can't remember exactly. But "amusing" is a rhyme for "exactly" (more or less). "Moth" is another rhyme, but how can I use it? The picture is a peppered moth. Ma whans dhebm a scrifa neppeth didhan

She ought to come with all the flowers of the spring. They are named for the bird. There is a bluebell (cuckoo flower) with blue bells. Cuckoo plants are the same thing. Later, there will be many yellow marigolds. In May, the cuckoo should sing all day. The folksong si

Dead? The language is dead! Rubbish! Nonsense! The language died after the Ordinalia (in the year 1400)? No! After the Reformation in the 16th century all the people spoke English? No! But neither did the language stay unchanged. The people developed different ways of saying the same thing. The first play in the Ordinalia is the Origin of the World, as seen
