Pick a random word and research its possibilities. I received a bottle of Russian vodka from a friend. (That's very good for a sore throat!) There is a picture of a brown bear on it. I will choose "bear". The Cornish word is derived from the Latin "ursus/ursa" or, perhaps, the French "ours". In the past there were lots of bears in the Northern Hemisphere. They are found in stories in many languages. Sometimes the bears and she-bears are alarming, and sometimes they are gentle. Children like soft teddy bears. Do you recognise these flowers? Allium ursinum or "bear garlic". In many languages their names mention bears. In Cornish it's only wood garlic or wild garlic. Perhaps we did not have bears in Cornwall.
