Does Cornish have phrasal verbs?
Verb + adv
Normal verb + adv, not a phrasal verb:
- Sav yn-bann > sa 'bann > sa 'man = get up, stand up
- sevel already means rise, so why add yn-bann? French se lever
- sauem aman 'arise' Matthew II
- Ke yn-mes = go out
- drehevys 'mann 'sprung up' Matthew IV
- Arlodh Duw a dhanvonas Ev en-rag dhort... danvon yn-rag 'send forth' (from the Garden of Eden) Genesis III
- ev a helghyas mes an den - helghya yn-mes 'drive out' Genesis III
Verb + particle
- Ro yn-bann > Ro 'mann = give up (used with dhe) Why Ladar Gweader
- Gwrys yn-bann > gwres a-mann = made up (used with dhort) A Few Words about Cornish
Uncertain
Verb + adv? Or verb + particle?
- merwel yn-kerdh > merwel e-ker = die out A Few Words about Cornish
- English influence?
