Fascinating website. Interesting that you are combining Catalan and Welsh. I own an apartment in Cataluyna! I came across site whilst beginning a search for my late grandfather's, brother's (Idris Davies) children. Idris and his wife, Velma lived in Lima, Ohio. They visited us in Wales in the early 1950s before I was born and then again in 1968. Idris would have been born 1880-90s. He was older than my grandfather who was born in 1898. He came from the Welsh mining valleys. One of his sons was a Dentist in the US Military, missing Vietnam by being posted to Germany. He had another daughter living in Arizona. I have lived in London, UK for 30 years and visit the US often. It would be good to find my relatives. Any ideas of where I might start the search.

Sylwadau / Comentaris / Comments: My Grandfather was born William Tregarth Jones in Santander, Spain about 1892. His father was a Welsh sea captain (David?) Jones and his mother was Maria Cortez (Cortiz?). My grandfather had at least one sibling, a sister, whom he came to America with, after being orphaned. This sister presumably settled in America, but was separated from my grandfather. Looking for clues...

I'm also writing for something else: I'm looking for the welsh translation of the European motto *
Europe: Union in the diversity* for an european organism. I think it's: Ewrop: Yr undeb yn yr amrywiaeth. Is it false or true???

Ateb / Reply: Diolch am eich neges Emilie. A diolch am gynnig trosi peth o'r wefan i'r Ffrangeg. Ar hyn o bryd nid yw yn fwriad gennym wneud adran Ffrangeg, ond efallai y'i gwnawn rywdro. "Undeb mewn amrywiaeth" fyddai trosiad yr ymadrodd sydd gennych. Da boch chi, Ianto Glan Tawe.

We are currently producing a new series for S4C - Channel 4 Wales called DIOLCH O GALON (A Heartfelt Thanks). The programme has a similar nature to Cilla's "Surprise, Surprise" where we give ordinary people from around the country the opportunity to nominate certain individuals who they would like to give their heartfelt thanks to. The "thanks" could be in several different forms from lifesaving to raising money for charities, from fostering children to caring for the ill. Do you know any Welsh-speaking people from your area that deserve such attention?

Ateb / Resposta / Reply: Yn sir Powys y mae Nant Bachell (SO/0871) ar bwys Abaty Cwm Hir.
Nant Bachell ('the Bachell stream') is in Powys near Abaty Cwm Hir. Ordnance Survey map reference SO/0871. And apart from that I know nothing else about it. It is probably the same word as obsolete Welsh bachell = nook, little nook (made up of "bach" = nook, "-ell" a diminutive suffix). Pronunciation: [BA-khelh] (kh as in Scottish loch, lh = the Welsh aspirated L as in Llangollen)
Da boch chi, Ianto.

Comments: Hola,

Aquest any he estudiat "Història i Cultura de les Illes Britàniques", i he après moltes coses que no sabia.
Des que he estudiat la seva història, noto Gal·les, Escòcia i Irlanda més a prop meu; en canvi, veig Anglaterra com Espanya: un país que intenta conquerir els altres imposant la seva religió, cultura i llengua amb un sentiment de superioritat. Tant de bo fóssim un país independent, tal i com finalment ha aconseguit, o va aconseguir, Irlanda al 1948; però què seria Espanya sense Catalunya? Res! Per això veig difícil que mai arribem a ser lliures. Jo vinc d'una família on el meu avi va anar a la Guerra Civil espanyola per lluitar contra el dictador feixista Franco, ell no va tenir joventut (va estar a un camp de concentració). Els meus pares tenien prohibit aprendre el Català a l'escola i a parlar-lo al carrer; eren dels que recolzaven el liberalisme i la "Nova Cançó" (molt important en aquella època) impulsada principalment pel magnífic cantautor Lluís Llach. I jo, ja he après la meva llengua materna a l'escola, sempre parlo el Català, i sempre lluitaré per la llibertat de Catalunya. Visca Catalunya i els Països Catalans! Des d'aquí una abraçada molt i
molt forta als gal·lesos, escocesos i irlandesos!

This year I've studied "History and Culture of the British Isles" and I've learnt a lot of things that I didn't know before. Since I've studied their history, I feel Wales, Scotland and Ireland much more near me; however I consider England the same as Spain: a country which tries to conquer other
lands imposing their religion, culture and language with a feeling of superiority. I really wish my country to be independent as
Ireland achieved it in 1948; but what would Spain do without Catalunya? Nothing! That's why I think it's quite difficult we get free. I come from a family that, my
grandfather went to fight in the Spanish Civil war against the fascist dictator Franco; he didn't have any youthfulness (he was in a concentration camp). My parents couldn't learn Catalan at school because it was banned, and it was also banned if anybody speak it in the street); they supported the liberalism and the "Nova Cançó" or "New Song" -which was so important for the people then- and was driven mainly by the brilliant singer and composer Lluís Llach. Finally, I learnt my mother tongue at school and I always speak Catalan and I'll always fight for Catalunya's freedom. Visca
Catalunya and Països Catalans (Catalan countries)! From here, I give a very tight hug to the Welsh, the Scottish and the Irish!!!

ATEB: Visca els Països Catalans! Diolch am dy neges.

Very interesting and useful. I have just discovered the Dictionary by accident when searching in despair for the meaning of 'gweithreg'. The definitions are very readable, but the page format is not ideal for British users, who pay for phone time when changing page. The etymologies are wonderful, including some I had been searching for. I notice you give no derivation for MYN(E)D - or indeed for MYNWENT or MELLTITH. The list of Welsh words derived from Latin (Der Lateinische Lehnwortschatz im Kymrischen, by Harald Haarman, Bonn 1970) gives these two as coming from the Latin 'Monumentum' and 'Maledictio'.

I ran in to your site by chance when doing a search on my own email handle, "blangoren". I see blangoren is a welsh or catalanian word, but what does it mean? Just curious. By the way, if you wonder what the norwegian name langoren means, it is the name of a farm, and is a concatenation of "lang" and ør. Lang means long, ør means (river) bank. My family's farm is situated along the river, right next to the only long bank in that river
