How well do you know Cornish Dialect No.3

I'm sorry. This page requires that your browser be capable of running JavaScript in order to use the self-correcting feature of the quiz. In most browsers you can activate JavaScript using a dialog box somewhere under one of the menu bar options. If you are really using a (rare) non-JavaScript-capable browser, you will have to do without the self-grading features of this page.

Instructions: For each item in the left column enter the number of the corresponding item in the right column. If the number you enter is correct, the right answer will be copied to the adjacent box. Otherwise a "sad faced smiley" will appear in that space. NOBODY wants to deal with a "sad faced smiley"!

The first item is done for you as an example. Some items in the list on the right may be used more than once or not used at all.
