On p.6 of the current Newsletter, MAGA graciously acknowledge the
reprint by Spyrys a Gernow of 'Jory' by Myghal Palmer with this
unfortunate wording:
> Hemm o an kensa novel Myghal Palmer ...
This looks suspiciously like the notorious 'English genitive', so
beloved of learners (An chy an den - the house of the man. An chy
Peder - Peter's house).
Perhaps they should have written:
> Hemm o kensa novel Myghal Palmer
.... or ...
> Hemm o an kensa novel gans Myghal Palmer ...
