Yes. /gw/ is spelled "gou(e)" in Kerno, like gouether (see). Occasionally you'll find words spelled in gw-, left over from the days of Brithenig influence on the language. Of course, the case endings are "archaic spellings" as well. Usually, the -e and -es of the accusative are silent. Liaison rules revive them at times, though. Padraic. -- Bethes gwaz vaz ha leal.
