rose-kei-veor, the great dog valley; according to others, the great dog's race.
RESPRYNN. From res-pren, the valley of timber or wood, or the woody valley; or from res-Prynn, Prynn's valley. According to C. S. Gilbert, the Prynn family were formerly called Resprynn, and are supposed to have originated from Resprynn, an estate in the parish of Lanhydrock.
RESS. See Rose.
RESTALOCK. This ancient name may be from ros-tallack, the highly-situated common or moss. It would also corrupt from Tretallack. See Retallack.
RESTRONGET. From the manor of Restronget, adjoining that of Carclew in Mylor, formerly written Restrongas, which Tonkin renders "the valley with the deep promontory or point of land" (res, ros, trong, gas, guys). Res-tron-coet would mean the valley with the woody promontory. D. Gilbert says, if gas or guys, which Tonkin says means deep in Cornish, should also, as in some other languages, bear the correlative sense of lofty, his explanation of Restronget would be more complete.
RESUGGAN. See Rosogan.
RETALLACK, RETALLICK, RETOLLOCK. From Retallock in St. Colomb Major, which, according to Pryce, signifies a very high place with many pits. The name was doubtless originally Tretallack; from tre-tallack, -tallick, the highly-situated dwelling.
RIALTON. From Rialton, or Ryalton, in St. Colomb Major; from ryal-, ryel-ton, royal town. Lower gives the surname Relton from a manor in Pydre hundred, mentioned in the Rotuli Hundredorum, temp. Edw. I.
