In Bewnans Ke, a Middle Cornish play, characters sometimes speak bits
of Middle English, Middle French, and Latin. Arthur addresses a group
of his knights who come to visit him. He says:
Byanvenu, moun beal amors!
This seems to be in the singular. I would -- though it has been a
long time since I read Middle French, and I've no idea where my
grammar book is -- expect "mes bels amours". Can anyone verify if
that's correct? I gather that "byanvenu" does not take a plural form
in Middle French, but I get interference with "bienvenidos" in Modern
French too.
