Ma nebes telleryow en Kernow gen "marhas" et aga henwyn. Terweythyow radn an hanow ell bos chànjys. Ota ymach a varhas de Yow en Pensans, liwys en mil naw cans trei warn ügens (nanj ew cansbledhen) gen Stanhope Forbes. Ev a liwyas telher marhas ewedh. An varhas de Yow a ros dhen an hanow rag an strêt "Market Jew Street". (Yow na Edhewon!) Ma kertys tednys gen mergh, saw nag eus lies carr tan. Otta dew delher moy (gen henwyn coth):

MARAZANVOSE (Marras an Voze 1617) Marhas an Fos  “market at the wall”

MARAZION (Marghasbighan 1359) Marhas Vian               “little market”

                    (Marghasyou 1331)      Marhas Yow                “Thursday market”

Nei a wel Marazanvose war vappa, saw na ellama gweles "vos".

There are several places in Cornwall with "market" in their names. Sometimes part of the name can be changed. Here's an image of a Thursday market in Penzance, painted in 1923 (a century ago) by Stanhope Forbes. He painted a market place as well. The Thursday market gave us the name of the street "Market Jew Street". (Thursday not Jews!) There are carts pulled by horses, but there aren't many motor-cars. Here are two more places (with old names). We see Marazanvose on a map, but I cannot see a wall.
