Hi Tradsinger I also made that comment in my first bit where it states that Tommy Morrisey used to sing The beautiful Kashmir - as you have spelt it differently are you saying that the pronounciation is different too? There is always the possibility that it could be an abomination of another maybe old Cornish word - or it could be a songwriter of old just having a laugh at out expense as we years on try to make sense of it!
Cheers, Lucy
