Many thanks - and at such speed. Any idea of its origins please?

sdqk

the word leithinis literally means half island (leith = half, inis = island).

Many thanks sdqk. Nice job. I don't suppose you'd know the Gaelic, Manx & Breton?

In Cornish it's konna-tir and in Welsh it's gorynys.

Thanks again, Lm
