i like that the word for the cornish language in breton is essentially "big cornish"1 because "cornish"2 on its own would mean the dialect of breton.


  1. kerneveureg. kernev is cognate with the welsh "cernyw" and english "cornwall", but refers to a region in brittany. and kernev-veur is used to mean cornwall, and means "big cornwall" essentially.

  2. kerneveg is a dialect of breton, and the word cognate with the welsh "cernyweg" and english "cornish".
