[Spellyans] Late Cornish adaptations

[Craig Weatherhill]

"Onen hag oll" was even more well-entrenched but KG and the SWF gurus 
took no notice.  So now we have "onan hag oll".

I'm used to seeing "broaz" but not "gwoav", or "cloav" even though it is 
the same O: pronunciation.  The Longships Lighthouse stands on what the 
map calls Carn Bra^s (that's A with a circumflex) but the survey plan of 
the rock drawn for the building of the first lighthouse in 1793 calls it 
the "Great Carnvroaz Rock" (how's that for double-ended tautology?)
