Probably. The American air force fed well and were generous. My father was very grateful.

None as dangerous as the three that you have mentioned, but Cape Wrath in North West Scotland is hard in bad conditions. The Goodwin Sands off Kent a mass of drowned lands onto which ships have been storm driven, and the coast of Cornwall are gangerous. The waters around the Isles of Scilly can be lethal in bad weather. The channel between Scotland and Orkney has a bad tidal race, and there is a whirlpool in certain tidal conditions in the bay of Corrievreckan in Scotland. It is said to be second only to the Maelstrom.

The first one you mention is mine alone. It is a photo of a painting.
I'll get back to you about the rest. Jo

English Wiktionary associates carneddau with Welsh carn and -edd, respectively for haft, handle, hilt, hoof or for bairn, barrow; and for the noun ending -ment, -ness, -try, -ty.

Might an English rendering be bairn- or barrow-ness?

Thank you for your comment Nov. 26, 2019, in answer to my previous question Nov. 25, 2019.

It intrigues me that your father mentioned "can loads of good stew."

Might that stew have been beef?

Unitedstatesians particularly pride themselves on their beef stew.

The first and the second images do not project to me a boy enduring hard times even as the boy in the fourth image perhaps does project socioeconomic suffering through his bare feet.

Is it typical in Jack and the beanstalk images for Jack not to look like a street urchin?

This month a woman became the first American woman to complete a non-stop, round-the-world boat race.

That race mandated rounding the challenging three capes Horn, Leeuwin and Cape of Good Hope.

Is there any part around the British Isles/United Kingdom that proves dangerously challenging for racers and sailors?

Ruth Bessant in her Kanata becomes registered breed article March 2, 1983, for 100 Mile House Free Press – available through Ancestry’s Newspapers.com site -- advises us that “The name Kanata comes from the Iroquois-Huron word for village which some say was the original name for Canada.”

That name and its origins appeal to me.

Is it pronounced KAH-nuh-tuh, like the country name KAH-nuh-duh?

The fourth symbol, Beanstalk, brings up in its last paragraph social climbing.

The terms social climber and social climbing in the United States can be considered insulting even as they defer to a comprehensible human impulse to furnish oneself, one's family and friends a better life.

Is Jack's social-climbing seen as something that he always needs to practice or as something that he needs to practice to become an adult?

The image leftward of your title and the 10 in-text images intrigue me.

(Perhaps my favorite is the fifth in-text image because it is inspired by my favoritest artist Vincent van Gogh's sunflower series, correct?)

But is the imagery by AI alone, by JoJo alone or by AI and JoJo?

(What might an artistic attribution be in the first and the second possible artistic achievements?)

(Might your AI have a name?)

The third symbol, beans, gets me thinking about what gets drunk and eaten in fairy tales.

Is a vegetable such as beans liked for germinable seeds (lodging successively edible, prolific generations) and hardy performances and tasty cold and hot foods or looked as basics loaded up by lower socioeconomic niches?

There are several versions where Jack's father was a wealthy man who was killed and robbed by the giant. These versions try to justify Jack's stealing and have many logical faults. They are hardly of any artistic value. Robert Anning Bell illustrated one such version. It's available online at archive.org.

Of course not. We see later how quick they spend gold when they get it.

The computer acted as though I did not sign in for a comment that therefore gets input again below.

Jack and his mother live in a dwelling and manage with dairy products such as milk and perhaps cheese.

Might there be any oral or written traditions as to what occurred to their family and friends?

Might there have been tribulation such as famine or sickness or war during which other family members perished and from which Jack and his mother suffered reduced socioeconomic circumstances?

That is fantastic!
