Good evening!
I'm in great need of help from a Cornish speaker. Currently I'm writing my bahcelor thesis on the translation of proper names in English fairy tales into Ukrainian. But I stumbled over these four really anglicised names which, as far as I know, are derived from the Cornish language. The names in question are Cormoran, Blunderbore, Thunderdell and Galligantua (or Galligantus), taken from the Jack and the Beanstalk. Could someone tell me at least their approximate meaning in Cornish or the words they presumably are derived from? And your point of view, as well, on whether they should be tranlated in the text or simply left transcribed. Thanks beforehand.
