Day Eight

An Ethves Dedh

An nawhes dedh a vis Genver. De Meurth ew arta. Gelwys ew an jedh en Sowsnek warlergh Tiw po Tyr, düw Noor an omdowl üdnik.

The 9th day of January. It’s Tuesday again. The day is named in English after Tiw or Tyr, northern (Norse) god of single combat.

Saw en Kernôwek, thew an jedh gelwys warlergh Meurth, ha nag ew Meurth düw Noor. Düw Rôman ewa; düw an vresel.

But in Cornish, the day is named after Mars, and Mars is not a Norse god. He’s a Roman god; the god of war.

Today, I woke up at seven o’clock. After eating breakfast, I walked a mile and a half to the number 87 bus stop. I sat on the bus and read for 50 minutes.

E veu cuntellyans hedhyw. Me a vetyas gen esely erel an bagas Rosweyth en Lys Kernow. Ma oll bagasow an tavas Kernôwek owth obery warbarth (en le a argya).

There was a meeting today. I met other members of the Rosweyth (Network) group in County Hall. All the Cornish language groups are working together (instead of arguing).
