Carhallack, shalach, salach, filthy.

Pen, ceann, a head, than which no root is more largely present inj 

 the Topography of Ireland and Scotland, enters into very many Cor- 

 nish names, e. g. : —

It is evident that those distinctive roots or words by which, accord- 

 ing to Camden, Cornishmen are to be recognized, are, with the 

 exception of Tre, of frequent occurrence in the Topography of Ireland 

 and Scotland, and cannot on that account be restricted to the Cymry, 

 but must be regarded as Gaelic in themselves, and therefore as enter- 

 ing into the Topography of these countries and islands where the 

 Gaels had permanent homes. The citations which have been made 

 from the Topography of Cornwall, in connection with the words or 

 roots in question, show that purely Gaelic nouns and adjectives com- 

 bine with those roots to form Cornish names. 



The Gaelic word tigh, a house, enters in the form chy into the 

 Topography of Cornwall, e. g. : — 



Chytane, tigh an teine, the house of fire. 



Chelean, tigh an leana, the house of the meadow. 



Chenton, tigh an duin, the house of the hillock. 



Chycarne, tigh a' chuirn, the house of the cairn.
