Tables of rhyming words

Rhyming words are listed in tables with three columns, as follows:
Left-hand column:   Rhyming word
Middle column:   Code for part of speech (see below)
Right-hand column:   Meaning in English

Format of rhyming words

Most of the words are in Roman bold;
Partly assimilated loans are in Roman bold italic;
Unassimilated loans are in Roman italic.

Some of the rhymes found in the texts come from an epoch
earlier or later than that on which KK is based; these are printed in blue.

Spelling of rhyming words

The unassimilated loans are nearly always spelled as in Modern English or Modern French.
The other words are spelled in a beta-version of Kernewek Kemmyn, called KK24.
KK (unlike SWF) is constantly undergoing slow improvement,
and this rhyming dictionary provides an opportunity to show the beta-version.
Parts of words whose spelling differs from that in the third edition
of Gerlyver Meur (GM20) are underlined. The main differences are:
(a) The assibilated reflex of medial and final Old Cornish /d/ is written z instead of s.
(b) Middle Cornish /o/ when short is sometimes written u instead of oe.

In the presentation of the dictionary, each set comprises one or more tables;
each table contains a list of congruent rhyming words.
Those tables labelled "full list" aspire to be exhaustive;
others list just a selection of rhyming words.
Some tables have more than one heading, if the words have different sources,
but all of the words therein have congruent rhyming sequences.

Codes for parts of speech

A two-character code is used to denote parts of speech,
as shown in the following table:
