Ma gwredhen dhe bub verb. Hedna ell bos ûsys avel gòrebma rag üdn person (po kei). My a lavar "Sedh!" ha my a wel an kei sevel emann! Ma othom dhe nei a wil traynyans moy. Nag ew da ganjo sedha. My ell leverel "Cav!" ha "Kergh!" po "Ke dhe gerhes!" gen sowena moy. My a lavar "Cân!" e'n mettin ha my a glow edhen ow cana. Hei a gan war neb coor, heb ger veth dhortam. My alja leverel "Taw tavas!" heb sowena.

Every verb has a root. That can be used as a command for one person (or dog). I say "Sit!" and I see the dog get up! We need to do more training. He doesn't like sitting. I can say "Find!" and "Fetch!" or "Go, fetch!" with more success. I say "Sing!" in the morning and I hear a bird sing. It sings anyway, without a single word from me. I could say "Hush!" without success.


Deg ger rag hedhyw Ten words for today 

cân (imp.) sing> cana to sing, singing

cav (imp.) find > cavas to find, finding

gòrebma ~ gòrebmyn (m) command, instruction, order

Nag era nei ow qweles scathow gool bian e'n Peran Porth. Moy garow ew an mor ha brâssa ew an todnow - moy anwheg ew rag golyoryon!

Go one day backwards from today. That is "yesterday". Go two days back, to the day before that. That is "the day before yesterday". Yesterday morning I went to Falmouth and, after that, Penryn. In the afternoon, after midday, the weather was lovely and the water was bright blue. I saw lots of little sailing boats moored in the river - a forest of white masts without any sail. We don't see little sailing-boats in Perranporth. The sea is rougher and the waves are bigger - it's more unfriendly for sailors.

Do you need a new logo for something? A living designer or artist is not necessary nowadays. You could ask AI (artificial intelligence). My son wrote "Design a logo with a black toad in a Celtic style." This is the result. Are there needy designers without work now? I prefer something simpler.

Tiny things can be very beautiful, but they are not seen all the time. We have to look for them. These whitish green-grey trumpets are not flowers; they are lichen. This little garden of lichen is in the top of an old fence post. I love tiny things like this. There's a little animal in my garden, but I've never seen it. It is under the ground. Will it sleep in the winter. It is not asleep now - it is still making mole-hills. How's the weather under the ground? How can it know that it is autumn? Did it feel the frost on the grass in the morning? The trees did feel the frost. Now they are starting to turn colour.
