[Spellyans] The sounds of Cornish

[nicholas williams]

I can find no examples of <ggh>. <ghh> occurs in moghheys 'increased'  
and yaghheys 'healed'.
<tth> on the other hand is quite well attested in such forms as gottha  
past subj. of coth 'ought' and perfettha, the comparative of
perfeth 'perfect'.
