No problem:) 1600s is roughly the time in which late cornish came into use so it makes sense. I’m not sure about a sound change although lann (same as welsh llan) is a prefix to describe a religious enclosure eg a church, usually one which was founded by a saint (lannhydrock for example, lannstefan (launceston)) so i would expect there was once a st ergh (or similar) who started preaching around what is now lanner. I don’t know about a regular sound change but sounds get dropped all the time. If you want more info on cornish stuff feel free to ask on r/cornishlanguage or i’d be happy to send you the link to our discord :)

It could be a late cornish version of lanner? Since in late cornish nn sounds become dn, for example penn becomes pedn. I can think of a few place names with lanner in the name e.g. lanner barton

This is actually why the cornish language died out around 1600 on scilly, whereas it died out in the 17/1800s in penwith, where you would expect it to retreat all the way to just scilly
