Hi Sorry, the SE Cornwall July meet up is cancelled, due to non availability of 3-4 of the SSiW SE Cornwall people.
Wedi canslo.
We’ll re-convene in Sept, not sure when or where yet. Keep in touch if you want to join us.
Hwyl am nawr,
Sorry your July meet-up isn’t going ahead, Lillian — I’ve been to the Duchy Nursery near Lostwithiel and it’s a very nice venue.
I don’t have any plans to travel to Cornwall in the near future, but I may get down there in December — probably mostly in the west, though (but I will almost certainly have my car). I would still love to visit the SSiW Cornwall group if I can make it some time! I don’t know very much Welsh at all yet, but I’d love to learn more.

Hi all
The next meeting of our SSiW SE Cornwall group will take place at 10:30am - midday on Wed 23 Oct in the cafe in Portwrinkle.
We hope you can join us?
Out of interest, Lillian, how is the “mh” in “ym Mhortwrinkle” pronounced in Cymraeg?
Just curious, as it’s a mutation we don’t have in Cornish. P usually mutates to B, or occasionally to F (only in a few circumstances). Portwrinkle’s non-Anglicised name is Porthwykkel, so “to Portwrinkle” would be “dhe Borthwykkel”. To mutate it to F, we’d need to say something like “my Portwrinkle”, which would be “ow Forthwykkel” (but I’m not sure where one would use that ).
Agas gweles yn Kernow unn jydh, dell waytyav! (I hope to see you (plural) in Cornwall one day)

Hi Courtenay
Thanks for this. While Portwrinkle is a Cornish place name, I choose to mutate it, using Tryglad Trwynol (nasal mutation) when I am talking about it in Welsh , so that it is like:-
Penarth becomes ym Mhenarth ((In Penarth) where I come from), so
Portwrinkle - becomes ym Mhortwrinkle (in Portwrinkle).
It sounds like “Umm Hortwrinkle”
But if Aran or Dee could help, that would be great! Cheers,

But then there are other mutations that could apply too:-
Looe and Portwrinkle = Looe a Phortwrinkle (aspirate mutation)
Wrth Bortwrinkle = By/near Portwrinkle (soft mutation)

Pur dhidheurek, meur ras (very interesting, thanks), Lillian! We don’t have nasal mutation in Kernewek (only soft, aspirate, hard and mixed).
We also usually mutate place names (and personal names) when they’re of Welsh or Breton origin. I wrote an article recently for An Gannas, a monthly Cornish language publication, about my recent trip to North Wales — “dhe Gembra Gledh”. (Kembra = Cymru — and “dh” is the equivalent of “dd” in Welsh spelling.)
Usually, though, we don’t mutate names that aren’t Brythonic to begin with. Which is a relief, because I hate to think of my name being turned into Gourtenay. 
How many different kinds of mutation are there in Cymraeg?
