Examples

  • The OED favours the Welsh gwylan as source, but W.B. Lockwood argues convincingly for the Middle Cornish gullen, adding that the en was probably dropped because it was still the plural suffix in the southwestern English dialects of the time (the Old Welsh assen probably suffered a similar fate).
