Am i right in thinking that Breton 'Lan', Welsh 'LLan' and Gaelic 'Clon' are cognates ? My celtic language studies were many years ago but i seem to remember that they all meant 'enclosure' - at least originally and only secondarily mean 'church' (which at least in the Brythonic dialects 400-800AD was 'eccles', modern Welsh 'eglwys', - ultimately from greek). Thus 'LLandaff' = 'the enclosure of/dedicated to Saint Taff' rather than specifically 'church of LLandaff'. If 'LLan' 'Lan' and 'Clon' are cognates what is the Cornish equivalent ? I'd be interested in the comments of any of the comparative linguists out there. Andrew Davis pab6awd@leeds.ac.uk
