[Spellyans] Chy, pl. treven

[Michael Everson]

(I'm not sure this got through yesterday)

Something actually interesting from C24:

> morvran (= Keith Bailey)
> What on earth makes you think "treven" is the plural of "house"?
>
> Palores (probably = Ken George)
> Lhuyd wrote "Tshyi [plur. Treven]" in AB page 55, and everyone else  
> (Pryce, Nance, Williams, marhak) followed him. But the evidence is  
> not so clear-cut. Lhuyd may have made a mistake. Are there any other  
> words with a plural ending in -en? I have yet to find one. Yet there  
> are dozens of words with a singulative ending in -en. Treven, I  
> think, is one of these.
