Yeh, righ! Just like the Process was to have been open and time-limited and involve consultation, take note of reliable statistics ... In case you haven't realised yet nothing, but nothing, that the Partnership has a hand in ever seems to come out the way it was supposed to. But I'm sure you have realised.
My main point is that I'm getting quite different messages from different people. According to the Partnership Officers, A & B etc. the "side forms" are very definitely second-class citizens. According to you they are not. I suspect someone or some body in all this is trying to keep everyone happy by telling everyone what they want to hear. But eventually a single public statement has to be made, and that's when the shit will hit the fan. Presumably that's why the Process is getting endlessly spun out, to put off that awful moment when someone will actually have to make a decision that cannot really please everybody.
The Commission were supposed to choose the best form, so we could move on, but they copped out and Trond got left holding the hot potato. I'm sure he never asked for this

Evertype.... The text are our only source of actual Cornish use yes... But that should not limit your vocabulary to exactly what is on the scripts. Besides the scripts, by all accounts, most likely account for very small segment of actual spoken Cornish. If it was used once in a script i bet it was used a thousand times by common speakers. Furv/f is well documented now... and as you know languages evolve and develop and this re-introduction is an obvious one.
Nosdan, if furv/furf is in the texts then we know it was used*, so it can't be a reintroduction!
* Well, at least we know it was used by the author(s). We just don't know how many of the English words in the plays were fully assimilated into the Cornish of the time, and how many were just dropped into the plays by the authors because they scanned or because they felt like it.
