Читать книгу The Main Cages - Philip Marsden - Страница 5

Main Cages – main, from maen, Cornish for ‘rock’; cages, possibly from Cornish kegys – ‘hemlock’ (on the coast east of Pendhu Point is a Hemlock Cove); or perhaps from cagal, Late Cornish for ‘the dung of sheep, goats or rodents’, and also denoting ‘clotted or spattered filth on the coats of beasts’, which, in certain lights, the rocks are said to resemble.
