Taking a new look at Cornish grammar 11 (more nouns)

 We need to increase our vocabulary in order to be able to construct even more sentences. The following lists contain masculine and feminine nouns which can be used as subjects: some you have already seen plus some new ones. The feminine singular nouns (and masculine plurals to do with people) also show the mutated form after the definite article an.
