Nyns yw da gans Tom owravalow.langbot langbot
A few years ago, I hear a story from a friend's mum about a local cattle charmer in the Liskeard area. Her name was Mrs Harris and, according to the story, she was the mother of a local tyre salesman in the town (there's a clue in the name). In the story, the farmer would phone Mrs Harris and she would heal the cows just by knowing in which field there were. This is one of my favourite stories and I love the idea of learning cattle charming - but I haven't found a course yet... Anyway, below is a poem I wrote celebrating Mrs Harris and the magic of cattle charming - be it true or false, it's still a lovely story.

“THIS IS THE BBC WORLD SERVICE” On the floor below the Rowden White Gallery was situated the ‘Activities Office’ – which then co-ordinated all the activities of the various student clubs – and doled out grants to them in a more or less ramshackle way. As I recall, the editor of the student newspaper, ‘Farrago’, was then situated in the adjacent room. But, no matter. So, what was I looking for there? Actually, I was initially looking for some clue as to where I might find some sophisticated ‘Ham Radio’ equipment on campus. Surely, I thought, if there were some club that used such equipment, the activities office would have a record of it. But, instantly I entered the office, I abandoned that search. One of the office staff had sitting on his or her desk just what I needed: a high- quality transistor radio. In those days, all good ‘trannies’ had the capacity to receive short-wave radio signals. My dad had an early ‘National Panasonic’ that did just that. But the performance of such small receivers was always disappointing – and, as a result, people rarely bothered using this facility, preferring to stick with good ol’ AM band pop/chat trash. This didn’t bother me when my eyes fell upon the tranny in the Activities Office. I knew that I would only be able to receive two or three of the strongest short- wave signals – and then only in a spasmodic (fade in/fade out) fashion. This was enough. I just needed some news from the outside world – beyond the local media blackout. I was hoping for the “Voice of America” but soon, David and I heard the dulcet tones of an announcer saying: “This is the BBC World Service”.

So, we've descended into the bowels of the mine and ahead of us there is a long tunnel or kowfordh in the Old Tongue. Kowfordh is made up of two words kow meaning hollow and fordh meaning road or way - which I believe is quite a poetic way of putting it, the 'hollow way'. So, kow, which cognates to the Welsh cau (hollow) and the Breton kev (cave) comes from the Latin cavus, and the Proto-Indo-European *ḱówHwos (cavity). According to the good people over at Wiktionary the word fordh along with the Welsh ffordd are borrowings from the English word ford. This is yet another Proto-Germaic word which has found its way across to the Brythnoic languages, the source word being furduz meaing crossing or ford. A cognate of kowfordh does exist in Welsh, ceuffordd, but this is no longer used and the English borrowing twnnel is now more common. The only Breton word for tunnel I could find was riboul, about which I can say nothing - but if anyone who reads this knows the story behind this strange word, please leave a comment below.
