In Breton you can use "Gwellań gourc'hemennou" which means with my best wishes but I don't suppose that helps much. The Cornish Democrat The Breton Connection |

Duw bos genowgh (John Boson)(God be with you). Agas oberwas uvella (E.Lhuyd), BUT "oberwas" is Lhuyd's own invention and uvella is based on Old Cornish. Yehes dhewgh why lebmyn (lemmyn) ha woja hebma (hemma) ynwedh, (Health to you now and hereafter). Gans oll ow holon vy (With all my heart = Yours sincerely). Gans pub bolunjeth da (With best wishes). Yn lel dhys (Yours sincerely) Yn purra lel dhys (Yours very sincerely). Some use "Lowena dhys" (joy to you) but this should only be used as a greeting, not a leave-taking.
