As líne le tamall (maithigí dom nár fhéadas a leath de na tchtaí a tháinig
isteach a léamh!) ach ar ais in Éirinn anois, i ndiaidh aistear go Corn na
Breataine, áit a rabhas chun an ócáid is mó i saol gnó EGT 2000 go dtí seo
a cheiliúradh, mar atá seoladh an fhoclóir Cornaise is mó agus is cuimsithí
dár foilsíodh riamh, mar atá, _Gerlyver Sawsnek-Kernowek_ (Foclóir
Béarla-Cornais) Nicholas Williams a thiomsaigh (eagarthóir: Michael
Everson, eagarthóir comhairleach Marion Gunn).

maraon le cora cainte. Sladmhargadh ar £28 punt in airgead na Breataine,
móide postas (£3 ar a ordú as Éirinn). Faoi chomaoin ag Ollscoil na
hÉireann, Coláiste Ollscoile Bhaile Átha Cliath agus Institiúid Ard-Léinn
Bh.Á.C., as maoiniú a chur ar fáil, agus faoi chomaoin ar leith ag
léitheoirí dilse a raibh oiread   muiníne acu as an togra seo gur
