Talk:Corbenic

Etymologies

The French etymologies look less convincing than they might because of my ignorance of Old French. E.g. corps béni is in Old French something like cor benoit, which is a lot closer to Corbenic, especially when you consider that in mediaeval writing, 't's and 'c's were easily confused (according to R.S. Loomis anyway, who promotes the 'blessed body/horn' explanation). Any palaeofrancophones care to correct? — Franey 10:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

looks more like a breton/cornish spelling - 'of the crow' as in the welsh given — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.149.213 (talk) 17:40, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of it has proper sourcing, so it's best not to put much stock in it.Cúchullain ^t/c 18:55, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
