[Spellyans] musical 'score' ?

[Nicholas Williams]

The English word 'score' is in origin a Norse borrowing meaning 'cut, gash'. It then comes to mean a notch on a stick, a mark. From this sense develops the idea of the sporting score, i.e. points marked on a stick. It also comes to mean a music score, i.e. the markings representing music.
The obvious way of rendering 'score' in Cornish would be to adopt the English word as follows: n. scor m., plural scorow and vb scorya. Then one could say scoryans for 'scoring' a piece of music. Scor, scorya, scoryans could also be used in a sporting connection.
