Our Cornish language is a very rich language. We have many ways for saying the same thing! And we have several words for more than one thing. We can play with words. I can see mouse-ear plants with my own two eyes. I am sharp-eyed. But I have to keep one eye on the old dog, though all the eyes of the world are not on me. The dog is not sharp-eyed but he is sharp-eared. He has good ears, two good ears. He can hear a mouse or an owl or a fox in the night. We have not seen a long-eared owl. In the past I did see a hare.
