[Spellyans] More on bys/bes words and diacritical marks

[Ken MacKinnon]

Very interesting lists, Pat.   Are there any records on web going back to the beginning - and are there any indications of reasons for barding, e.g. language bards, etc.

At last year's Gorsedh day in St Ives there was a book on sale which purported to cover these issues.  I meant to buy it but neglected to do so.  I should like to get my copy - any ideas of source, price and postage?

  If you roll right to the very bottom of the list, you have been included. Bards who resigned are all listed there.  
  In the original archives link, the bards are listed by years with you in the 1981 and Nicholas the 1962 list.

  Oh, now this IS interesting, Pat.  Neither Nicholas nor I appear in the 
  Bardic roll.  Yes, we both resigned our bardship, and the list could say 
  so.  However, what the Gorsedd appears to be doing is to write our 
  bardship out of history.  The facts remain that I was installed as a 
  Bard in 1981 for services to archaeology, and Nicholas rather earlier 
  than that for services to the language.  Those facts cannot be discarded 
  simply by omission.

  However, if you then look at the list of Bardic Names, Delynyer 
  Hendhyscans is there, followed by the words "resigned" and Weatherhill.

  Someone at the Gorsedd is being disingenuous, I feel.

  Golvan, too is there, correctly identified (by surname only) as Williams 
  - but no mention of resignation.
