[Spellyans] au

[Craig Weatherhill]

One item that we must rectify is the SWF use of <o> to represent <au>, 
and we have already remarked upon the unfortunate and utterly avoidable 
<cons>, "causeway" and <cons>, "vagina".
This use of <o> offers confusion because these two words (by way of 
example) have rather different pronunciations.  So, we must secure the 
restoration of <au>, which is also desirable in place-names (there is 
the precedent of Pluvogan for Mawgan-in-Meneage but this is very much 
the exception, not the rule).  There can be little doubt that <au> is a 
feature of traditional Cornish and I can think of no good/practical 
reason for its omission from the SWF.
