There are several words in the Cornish language with many meanings. Perhaps the most familiar is "glas". I can say the sea is "blue" today. Today, this is true. I saw it, in sunshine, with a cloudless sky. Eight days ago the sea was "grey" and the sky was overcast, cloudy. All the ferns and ivy by the footpath are "green". Plants are greenery. But look at the footpath. It is "brith" with sunshine. That is another word with many meanings.
