Quote1. Dyenn an margarin ha'n sugra warbarth.


I haven't got my reference books with me but I'm not sure if using "dyenn" is correct in this use. Doesn't it need to be from the verb "dyenna" or something similar? "kemmyska" maybe? :?

It IS from the verb "dyenna"! I decided "cream" in English must mean more than just "mix"...something like "mix to a cream"...and therefore "dyenna" seemed as good as anything, if not better than most. Otherwise it's a fairly useless verb - how often do you say "I'm making cream"? And in any case, you'd be more likely to say "yth esov ow kul dyenn" than "yth esov ow tyenna". I think.
I did consider "beat together" but in Cornish that comes out sounding like "hit together" or "press together" or even "strike together". At least, it did for me!
Shaz's question is interesting - I doubt whether "sugra" is in the traditional texts (I haven't got my reference books either!) and "margarin" certainly isn't. But "sugra" is used by everyone and is Cornish as much as "sugar" is English. "Margarin" is less common, and I've no doubt some people say "marjarin", but I've seen "margarin" in Cornish recipes before so it's fine too as far as I'm concerned. What other word could we or would we use instead? "Hydrogenated vegetable oil" is a right mouthful in Cornish (no pun intended)...
