GRAMMAR
- scovorn, ear; dual deuscovorn; pl. scovornow.
- glîn, knee; dual deulin.
- elin, elbow; deuelin.
- bregh, arm; deuvregh.
- bron, breast; deuvron.
- scoudh, shoulder; deuscoudh.
For hands in general the plural is formed from dorn (which means more exactly fist), dornow; there is, as in Welsh, no regular plural of lâv. A variant of glîn is penglin (lit. knee-end), with a dual pedndewlin, cf. Welsh penelin, elbow.
Lastly, the plural of dên, man, is almost always tîs (earlier tus), folk, though Lhuyd gives dynion as well.
