I was checking something for the class tonight. In 'Clappya Kernowek' Nicholas asserts that the preterite of 'gallus' does not occur in the Tudor texts, however I have found one example in Creation of the World, line 348. Had you spotted this Nicholas? If so, how do you reconcile it with your statement in 'Clappya Kernowek' ? Ray Chubb Portreth Kernow
