Thread Name: Origins: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean?
Subject: RE: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean?
...nope, it didn't. But the mummers' play in Helston is called the Hal an Tow, and to me it sounds too much like 'hwyl a...' something but that's probably just cognitive dissonance. But I have a feeling this is a phoenetic rendition of a bona fide phrase in Kernewek... Let me try putting the phrase through a Fubar transform, I'll let you know what I come up with. :-)
