In the 16th cent. ohon- was often contracted to on- or hon-, as cyn. adnabod
dim honi G.R. [xiv] ' before knowing anything of it'; cf. iS.P., PS. cv 16 ;
onynt M.K. [59], ono-fo do. [60]; later Os ymddifad onot fe' Wms. 438
(printed ohonot, but the metre allows only 2 syll.) ' if destitute of thee'.
Analogy has restored the full form, and the contraction survives only in
monof, monot, mono etc. for ddim ohonofy etc.; thus ni welais mono for ni
welais ddim ohono ' I have not seen anything of him', i. e. I have not seen
him ; § 170 v (2).
vii. (i) W. ar is for *war, O.W. guar CP., Bret. war, Corn. war <*yor for
Kelt. *uer<Av. *uper § 65 v (3). The personal
forms are made from an adverb *uor-na; for the suffix, cf. Lat. superne § 220
i (3), and for the ending, supra. The pronoun stood in a case not affecting a
in the sg. or pi., hence prob. ace. ; thus sg. i. arnaf<
*yi'>'rna'ine<*iti'irin~i, iiic; pi. i. ar'nwiii or
fi.rnann<*(irnanm<*u6r-ina'tis'iiw< *iiiirnti, nsfin'. (: Av. (tiniui,
Uk.

llic iinnlogy of tlio vcrl);
sg. 3. m. arnaw is prob. a re-formation after tlio yd ng. -Sa'iv fj 210 x
(i); sg. 3. fern. erni<.*u6rnaszm<*u6rnd, slm; arnei<*uoruast'iit, §
75 i (2) ; *swn is the ace. of *sz ' she '. The most probable explanation of
the -8- in the 3rd pi., which also occurs in the 3rd sg. of other
conjugations, is that it is the prep. *do; this took the dative, orig.
instr.; the instr. pi. of the pron. *es was *eibhis (: Skr. instr. pi. etMh)
as in Ir. doib 'to them'<*do eibhis ; this would give *duv in W.; v after
u disappeared early, but if altered to 8 (8 ... »>8 .. .8) would remain
longer ; hence W. arnaSzt(§')-< *'tf6rnadoibis<. *y6rna do eibhis or
some such form; arnaSunt has the -nt of the verb added ;
arivui, cvrnunt are probably later formations.—The modern equivalent i of the
prep. *do performs the same function as that assumed above for *do ; it is
added to an adverb to make it a prop.; thus tu yma i 'this side of § 216 ii
(4), Jieibio i 'past' §210 iii.
(2) at is the stem of the personal forms substituted for *ad, which may be
from *ato <if ad-do, a compound of *ad and *do both denoting ' to'. The
personal forms seem to be derived from an adverb *ato-ta;
thus ataf< *ad-daf< *dlo-ta-me; etc. as in (i).
* (3) o dan (adan, O.W. guotan) is formed from *MO- ' under' § 156 i (16)
(o-/a- < *uo-/ya- § 65 v (i)) and *-tana < *-t^iw, as in Lat.
pro-tinus< *pro-t^nos : Lat. tenus, V ten- ' stretch '; *yo-tand'me >o
danaf, etc., as arnaf above; adv. o danoS < *uo-tana-de (suff.
*-dhi or "-dhe § 162 vi (2)). On the accent of oddn see § 47 i; oddn

§ 210:
x. (i) The -o- of the ist and znd pers. endings of this conjugation prob.
represents the ending -o of the prep. in Brit. Although tha thematic vowel -o
was not a case ending in Ar. it was a common ending of adverbs and preps., e.
g. *apo, *upo, *pro, and may have spread in Kelt. Hence perhaps *proko me
> Brit. *rokome > W. (*rhogof), rhagof. For the 3rd pL -Sunt see §209
vii(i); 3rd sg.
*oi<*'-do-s^ § 75 ii (2), where *sz is the instr. sg. of *st 'she'. The
3rd sg. m. -Saw is difficult; Ml. W. -Saw, and Bret. -san, O.W. -dam ('=.
-Sav) seem to be two different reductions of *-&a'uv, in which aw (aw)
must be from *-ou- not from -a- (since dm > Bret. eun); both
*-8ffw/'and Corn. -tho may be from *-do-emi § 75 ii (2); *e-mi, instr. in
*-mi of *es ' he'.
(2) rhag < *prokos : Lat. red-proms, procul < *prooolos, dim. of
*pro1eos; unacc. ok > ok in Brit. § 65 ii (i)
; dialectal rhog, rhogSo, etc. < *pr6k-. The form before a noun
seems to have ended in
*s causing the rad. initial : Brit. *rokos unacc.; personal forms as above
(i). The adv. raccw, racco ' yonder ' has a suffix *-hw or *-ho, prob. with
loss of -nn (as yma ' here ' etc. § 110 v (2)), for ^-hwnn or
*honn < *som-de or *som-da 'there' suff. *-dhe or *-dha § 162 vi (2), cf.
hwitt § 220 ii (5); thus Brit. *roko sonde 'in front th ere'> raccw.
luitiiil r- was prob. first lo&t after consonants : y gwr racw > y
gv)r acin, y bryn 'racw > y liryn acw, *dracw > dacw, etc.
(3) heb '(pin-it) by, witliont ', lr. wc/i id., Jirct., Corn. heb 'without* :
Av. huca 'away from ', O.l'crs. liara id. : Lat. scans, Mkr. nava 'at, in the
presence of. These are believed to bo nil from V seq^- ' follow ' ;
e. g. Brugmann2 II ii 894 if. The development of the meaning in Kelt. and Iran. is not
quite clear. In W. heb with the vb. wyf means" ' not having attained' :
yr wyf heb fy nghinio ' I have not had my dinner', perhaps <'*! am in
pursuit of. This may explain the sense of ' lacking '. ' Past' and ' away
from ' may be from ' proceeding '. The adv. heilnaw (Bret. ebiou) seems to be
a cpv. of the adj*
*se<ftos•, it might represent a loc. *seq'^wsi § 75 ii (2).
(4) yn 'in'<*era, *eni and *en-do : Lat. in, O.Lat. en, Gk. ev, evt, etc.
Although the last ends in -o, ynof, ynot, etc., cannot come directly from it,
as they have only one -n- in lit. W. Ml. and
Mn. They are prob. re-formiitions from yn on the analogy of rhagof, etc. The
-d- in yndaw, etc. is duo to provcutiou of 8 alter 'n, § 111 vii (2).
(5) trwy ' through', Ir. tri, ire, Bret. tre, dre. It causes lenition in W.,
Bret. and Ir., except in Ir. before the article. For the form in the last
case Brugmaun2 II ii 900 gives *tres, comparing *pres in Gk. 7rpeo--/3us; but
as *pri, *prei existed beside *pres, so there were prob. *tri, *trei; these
would account for the leniting forms. W. trwy<*trei; trwySu(nt) <
"trei do eibhis. The ist and 2nd pers. forms and the adv. are analogical
formations.
(6) tros 'over, across' is a weak form of traws § 71 i (2), as in ar draivs '
across'. It comes from a participial form *trans = Lat. irons < *trdnts.
The 3rd pers. trostaw, trosti, trostunt<*trdns do- ;
the other persons and the adv. are analogical formations.

suffixed affected the a ; it may have been abl. *nvi{d) == Lat. me(d), or
possibly a loc. *moi wliich as ii mere suffix would. become *-nvi. So for the
2nd sg. The first and 2nd pi. are prob. analogical. The affection of a before
a labial became i[, § 69 ii (4) ;
hence gennyf, gennym,, gennywch, which caused the sg. 2. to follow;
thus the distinction kept in Corn. between genef and worthy/ (similarly in
Bret.) is lost in W. Between vowels -nt- > -nnh- > -nn- regularly. In
the 3rd pers. *do is used, as after other prepositions, taking of course the
same case; hence *cant-Saw > ganthaw or gantaw ; BO for f. and pi. The 3rd
pi. genhyn, with veibal -n (added to the apparent stem genhy- t).

vi. y, i 'to', O.W. di < Brit. *do is equivalent to the prefix dy' § 65 iv
(2), § 156 i (13). It is strange that this prep. whose ist sg. is the only
one in Ir. which has certainly a single -m (== W. *-/) is the only one in W.
witli -m ( = -mm). The -m is due, like the usual
-mm in Ir., to the Kelt. doubling of the initial of an unacc. word following
an accented monosyll., §217 iv(i); thus ym < *d(i-mnvi < *d6 moi. The
corresponding form of the 2nd sg. would be *yth, cf. yth ' to thy '; but the
form that survived was yd (id W.M. p. 279), as in daed; by late analogical
doubling this gave ytt (d-d > it § 111. ii (i)). It may be conjectured
that the 3rd pers. forms were orig.
*daw, *di, *du', as these were mere suffixes in the conjugation of other
preps, it is probable that *S'y was prefixed here to represent the prop.; t[
would be assimilated to a following i or 11, and perhaps iSaw takes its i
from iSi, O.W. didi L.L. 120. But the prep. *dz ^ 156 i (n) may have been
prefixed, with an intensive force, as before *do- in di-Sawr § 195 i.

' Good were the ancestors of 11.C., and good is H. after them.' In Late Mn.
W. the use of a pron. as above after wedi is rare.
ii. (i) a is now generally circumflexed to distinguish it from a ' and'. When
it is accented it is of course long, but when unaccented it is short. The
same is true of a ' and'.
(2) wedi has late -i owing to the frequency of its use, cf. § 16 ii (3). In
Early Ml. W. where it rhymes it hns •y ; sec e. g. L.G.C. 15, 66. In Ml. W.
it has -y in NKK. in which i and y are distinguished.
iii. (i) a, ag < *aggos; it Inis <wo distinct meanings, and may
therefore have a double origin : (n) ' together witli' < *ad-g- : Ir. ac,

this is the prep. used after cyf- and ym-, as cyf-arfod & ' to meet

formation of the analogical oc § 209 vii (5).—The last element in Brit.
*ay-g6s is the same as that of the orig. form of a 'and' § 222 1(3).
(2) gwedy (: Bret. govde) 'after' is also an adv. 'afterwards* § 220 ii (9).
As a prep. it is largely used before verbal nouns, and in periphrastic
conjugation it forms the equivalent of a perfect. For its origin see I.e.; it
has the same final element as a, ag.
iv. The above are the only prepositions which may govern personal pronouns,

§ 214. The following prepositions are of more or less restricted use :
i. ach is used only in ach law ' nea/ at hand'; acK fy Saw ' near me', etc. §

A trace of a wider use is seen in yw, ach mwr Eaer Loyw E.M. 131 ' beside the

in cyr-haeddaf ' I reach ', Mn. v.n. cyrr-aedd : haeSaf 'I reach'; possibly
allied to cwrr 'edge', V(s)qer- 'cut'; both -ei-and -y- may be affections of
-a- or -o- before -rr-, and -e- may be a variant ofy§16iv(2); gar W.M. p. 281

as dUifr lot yn well kyweirdeb y bwyf W.M. 227 ' except that the preparation

But it occurs also before nouns and pronominalia : eimyr mot C.M. 3 ' beyond

cyn is the adv. eynt 'sooner', 1111 obi. case of the cpv. adj. cynt §148i(3).

ii. Nominal preps, from nouns are used not only simply, as cylch 'about', but
with a preceding prep., as o gylch 'about';
the latter forms may be called composite nominal prepositions. When a pers.

a mere phonetic reduction of ymywn);

(y)mywn 'in the middle 6f has come to bemused for 'in' before indefinite, yn
being restricted to definite, objects; thus ymywn ty W.M. 53 'in a house', yn
y ty do. 54 'in the house'; in Ml. and Early Mn. W. mywn, nwwn is sometimes
used before the latter.
i < *ens : Gk. ei's < evs < *en ' in ' + -s as in *r?c». i mown,
ymywn == Ir. inmedon, immedon; Ir. 'uiedun ' middle '. The W. form has lost 8
§ 110 iv (2), and was therefore orig. disyllabic *my\wn <
*mySwn, which most probably represents *my8-wyn § 78 i (2). Both this and Ir.
medon would be regular from Kelt. *medwkno : Lat. mediocris, 8pv. medioximws.
If this equation is right, mediocris can hardly be ' *middle-hill' (: ocris,
Sommer 488, Walde s.v.) but may be an adj. in -ri- (cf. am'-, sacri-) from
*medioque formed from inedio-like prope (for *proqw) from pro, as the spv.
medioximus be&ide proxintus suggests. The Kelt. would be a noun in -no-
from the same (It.-Kelt.) extd. stem.—Orig. stem *medh(i)w- : Skr. madhya-h,

§ 216. Compound Prepositions.—This term may be used to denote expressions in
which the last element is a preposition, to distinguish them from composite
prepositions, in which, the last element is a noun. They fall into two
classes: i. prep. + prep. ; ii. noun, adv. or pron. + prep.
i. (i) Ml. W. y am 'from about; besides', § 209 v; y ar ' from on'; y gan '
from with '; y wrth ' from by' ; Mn. W. oddi am ' from about'; oddi ar c from
on '; gan ' from' § 211 ii (a), more rarely oddi gan, see oddi gennyf § 194 v

Si-eithyr s.G. 8 'except', o-6i-i't///yf II..A. 143 'outside';
Mn. oddieithr : except', dial. corruption odd'igerth.
oddi is itself a compound of o + Si; in Ml. W. it is comparatively rare
before vowels : oSyarnati IL.A. 159, but occurs before adverbial expressions
as oSyyma s.a. 7, 40, in which, however, it is generally 08- before a vowel,
as oSymma S.G. 4, oSyna W.M. 19; this is also the usual spoken form. The -i
(mostly ^ before a vowel) is taken in Late Ml. and Early Mn. W. from forms in
which a consonant follows, as oddi draw, Ml. ~W. ooydraw C.M. 46. {oddieithr
is for o ddieithr.)
In the Gwentian dial. 08 was taken from these connexions, and used for o
before a vowel, and i8 for i was made on its analogy. These forms occur in
late Gwontiaii writings; and Pughe made a determined but unsuccessful attempt
to substitute in tlie written language the new Gwentian oS y ' from the',

except our penny' ; (1)) ' up to and including' : hyt ynn oet eu pechawt
IL.A. 34 ' even tlieir sin'. The latter is the meaning in Mn. W. : hyd yn oed
Marc i; 2 'even*. The phrase is in common coll. use.
The origin of oed or ynoed here is quite uncertain; as no pref. or inf. pron.
is used with it, it would seem to be an adv. ' even' (? noet < *nai-t-,
variant of neut ' indeed' § 219 i (i)).
(2) tu a(g), tua{g) 'towards', tuag at id., parth a(g) id., partK ag at id. ;
Ml. W.J gyt a(c), gyt a{c), Mn. W. gyd a(g), gyda(g), yngJiyd a(ff) '
together with ', gyferlyn a(g) ' opposite ', gyfarwyneb a(g) id., yftffl^n
n{g) ' in connexion with ', etc.
tu ha L.L. 272 ' townrds'; tu a</( wlat IL.A. 125 'towards thy country ';
y tu ac altuw C.M. 47 ' (owiirds him '; tu ac at IL.A. 158 ;
parth a'r berth W.M. 69 'towards tlie bush'; parth ac attunt do. 38 'towards

' with tliem'; gyverbyn a hi E.M. 293 'opposite her', gyvarwyneb ao wynt W.M.
185 'opposite them '; tu-ag-at am M.K. [xi1 ' with regard to '.
tu 'on the side', like parth, is definite without the article—an old
construction which survived in a few idioms; the tendency to use y before tu,
as y tu ac above, is shown by the early tu 1ia to be a Ml. W. neologism,
which did not become general.

thus : A.e gwell . . . ? TSa. well W.M. 85.
iii. A negative part. is frequently supplemented by Um ' at all' ; see § 170
v (3).
iv. (i) Ml. W. ny < Kelt. *ne < Ar. *ne.—A.r. *ne was ordinarily
accented, and the verb unacc. § 179 i. In Kelt. the initial of the unacc.
word seems to have been doubled after the accented vowel; in Jr. gemination
occurs after m ' not' and the preverbs TO, no. Thus Brit. *ne Jclcardme gives
Ml. W. ny charaf. Hence the spir. of tenues after ni. So *bb->b-,
*mm->m-, ^ll-^ll-. The soft 8- may be due to late simplification of double
d § 93 iii (i) ; lenition of g- may have epread from gw-<*y-, which even
if doubled would prob. give w-after a vowel. From these and the relatival
form, lenition spread to &-, m; II-, rh-.—The neg. rel. lenited because
it was orig. unacc., and the verb accented, so that the regular softening
took place after the vowel, § 162 vi (3).
(z) Ml. W. nyt was orig. 'there . . . not' <*n[e) ita § 189 iii (3), and
was used before consonants as well as before vowels, as 0. W. cen nit boi
(prob. b-zv-) rr. 'though thcie be not'. The difference in meaning between ny
' not'and nyt 'tlicre . . . not'wiis lost, and both are used in the two
souses, ny before consonants and iiyt before vowels.
(3) Ml. ~W. nyt' it is not' before a noun, etc., may come from *ne tod 'it
[is] not', where *tod 'it' is the neut. eg. nom. of *so, *sa, *tod>G]i. o,
-f], TO, § 159 iv (i). It is improbable that nyt contains the verb 'to be' as
Stiachan assumes, Intr. 98.
(4) Though the vb. was unacc. after *ne in direct sentences in Ar., it was
accented in dependent clauses; this may have led to a reduced unacc. *n^
giving Kelt. *na, W. na. If so, the mutation after na and the
form nat followed the analogy of ny, nyt; but this is probable in any case.
(5) W. na, nac before the impv. may be referred to Kelt. unacc. na + a
particle beginning with k-, possibly cognate with Lith. -1ci, a particle
suffixed to imperatives.
(6) W. na. nac in answering questions. In na ddo (: Ir. na-tho) we have
simple na; in nac ef ' it [is] not so' the -c may represent some form of the
*1ce- pronoun.
§218. Interrogative Particles.—i. The inten'og'ative particles are : (r)
before verbs, a [soft] ; before nouns, etc., Ml. W. ae, Mn. ai [rad.] 'is it
? ' (2) before verbs, O.W. anit, Ml. W. pony(t), pany(t), Mn. poni(d),
pani(d), ponrl, panel, oni(d), ond ' nonne ?'; before nouns etc., Ml. ponyfc

often written where the metre shows that the author did not use it, as in hi

oblique mi instead of the nom. i. Undoubtedly later the pronoun was
identified with the subject, though ef largely retained its charaotgi? of a
particle.
iv. (i) The rel. a is used in Early Ml. W. to Bap'pSrI an infixed pron.
before a verb ; thus --,.„,,- '
A'th Tcivarchaw B.B. 98 ^ A?th gyfvarchaf E.P. 578 ' I prreet thee'. A.'th
vendiguis-te Awraham B.B. 35 'Abraham blessed tliee.' Ae Si'wch bi wynnyeith
B.T. 12 'And there will be vengeance upon you'. A's attehwys DofyS do. 24
'The Lord answered him'. A.'s kyWfwS, gwenyn do. 40 ' Bees gather it'.
It is used not only in affirmative sentences, but also before the subjunctive
to express a wish ; as •
A.'m bo forth B.B. 34 'May there be a way for me'. A'TO eirolwe ne ( =
eirolwy ny) Mihangel do. 3 2 ' May Michael intercede for us'.
(2) This form prob. arose where the subject was expressed, as in A's attebwys
Dofydd, the a anticipating Dofydd; and is perhaps a survival for a particular
purpose of the habit of putting the rel. clause first, which prevails in Skr.
(Wliitney 512 a), and may have been primitive..
v. (i) Ml. W. ry, the perfective particle, with the past makes it pert. in
sense, aspaw6 ry gavas y gy varies W.M. 470 ' everybody has had his gift';
with the pres. subj., makes it perf. subj., as kanys ry ga-ffo o arall do.
453 ' though he may not have had him from another'; with the impf. subj.,
makes it plup., as kyn wys ry welhei eiroet do. 454 'though he had never seen
her';
with the plup., causes no modification of meaning, y n/n. ( = yr hyn) ry
aoawsei do. 453 ' that which he had promised'. See Strachan, Intr. 57-60. It
is sometimes reduced to r after neu i (i); ny, as nyr Sarjfo •W.M. 230 ; a,
as ar boet/ioeS do. 123. In Early Mn. verse ry is a rare survival:
.Annoethwas a'i rh.y-wnaetJwedd D.G. 509 ' A booby had made it'.
It is prefixed to a verbal noun giving it a perfect sense ; and is mostly
found redundantly after gwedy, as yo oeo Icawat o eira gwedy vy-cidi. .. a
gwalch wyllt gwedy vy-lab hwyat W.M. 140 ' a shower of snow had fallen, and a
wild hawk had killed a duck'; this is reduced to (g)wedyr s.a. 53, which
survives in Early Mn. W. verse, as gwedy r' odi D.G. 27 quoted from- the
above'; wedy r' euraw L.G.C. 363 ' having been ennobled'.
It is seen from the first example above that the rel. a was not used with ry,
which day contain the rel. without alteration of form. But

(2) Ml. W. ry == Ir. ro < *pro- : Lat. pro, etc., § 156 i (21). The

that rel. ry may have been formed like ny itself, by contraction, thus ry

vi. (i) Positive answers: to questions introduced by a, the answer is the
verb repeated, or its equivalent, as gwnaf 'I will do [so] ', except when it

Whether ef W.M. 42 correRponding to mae ef B.M. 29 is a scribal error, or a
shorter form of reply, is not clear.

it is the preverb *do, the verb being omitted so that do became a generalized
past verb meaning ' he (I, we, etc.) did '; *do-survives in Welsh only as the

there are survivals in Ir. of do used as a perfective particle : mligid

The older forms of yno, ''yna are ynoeth, ynaeth; the B.T. ynoeS represents
the intermediate stage between ynoeth and yno § 78 i (i). ynaefh>yna hag
followed the analogy of ynoeth; Powys dial. ene shows the change of ae to e §

*enaJst-, the latter doubtless for *endkt- § 74 iv. These are prob.
derivatives of the pron. stem. *eno-', but the formation is not quite clear.
We may assume forms *eno-ko-s, *end-Jco-s formed like
*pro-ko-s, *pera-ko-s, and adverbs with a (-suffix formed from these, on the
analogy of *ek-tos (: Ir. acht, Gk. tici-os); thus *eno-k-te ' thither' >
ynoeth. For the base of. Sfer. ana ' then; ever ', Gk. S[vvj ' the third

*eni and *enon of the pion.—Ml. W. myn, men seems to be the same with initial
(y)m- < *esiw, sce(ti). The rhyme Ten/men shows that the -n is single, and
Iliat tho vowel was long; lipncc tlic woid cannot be an oblique case of mann 'place',
though w ticated later, and written man.

The ( is for d by provection before M § 111 v (2), so that the older form was
edwaeth, *edwoeth (wa : wo interchange), which implies Brit. *et..uokt~. This
seems to be a formation like yno, see (6), from a base *eti-uo; *eti : Gk.
Sri, Skr. dti (which may represent *ati or
*eti) ' over, beyond ' ; uo < *upo : Skr. fipa, as adv. ' moreover,
farther ', see (9). The foirn efon, etwan < *edwon < Brit. *eti-yo-na,
an adverb formed with an ra-suffix, see i (3). For loss of w before o see §

explain the e- of eto except as original *e-.

(ia) Allan 'out, in the open', Ml. "W.allann B.P. 1044, IL.A. 106, 167,
usually written allan but rhyming with -ann in Early Ml. verse, thus
cann./lloergan(w)/allan(n)/law(n) B.T. 27.
The adj. allanol' external', so written and pronounced, is not older than the
iyth cent., and so was formed long after the distinction between '-an and
'-ann had been lost, § 56 iii. There was no derivative of allan, and
therefore nothing to show whether it had -n or -nn.
allann < Brit. *alland(a), which represents *pJ,-wm-d1ia or a similar
formation from Vpeld- ' stretch out' : Lat. pdlam ' openly ' : 0. Bulg. polje
' field ', 0.~E.feld, E. field; of. i maes ' *in field' vi (2), which has
ousted allan in S. W. dialects. Cf. also Mn. Ir. o soin ale 'from that time
forward' O'Don. Gr. 263 ; o hynny allan W.M. iz (soin Mn. W.) ' thenceforth'.
(13) Ml. W. rwy 'too much', as rwy yt werthey Arthur W.M. 470 ' overmuch dost

heibio, acw, trwoS, drosodd, yngo, yngod, ucJw, ucJiod, iso, isod § 210.
iii. The following adverbs are oblique cases of nouns and adjectives:
(1) fry 'up', obi. case, prob. loc., of ire 'hill' § 103 ii (i).
(2) orig 'for a little while' dim. of awr; ennyd 'for a little while' (also
am orig, am ennyd); ennyd awr D.G. 103 id.;
oil 'wholly' § 168 ii (a); lawer 'much' § 169 ii (i); beth 'to some extent' §
169 iv (i); ddim ' at all' § 170 v (3); syrn 'a great deal' obi. case of
siorn 'cluster, crowd' § 129 ii (i) ex. 3 ( < ^s-tur-no- : Lat. tur-ma,
Vtuer-); gylch 6gylc1i, etc. § 47 iii; agos (nearly'; nemawr, fawr in neg.

achlan ' wholly'.
achldn is used like oil, generally following tlie word or phrase which it
limits, as a'r tyt achlan ' and the wliole world ' M.A. i 376, Pryde/'m
achlan E.r. 1402, y IluoeS achlan K.M. 136 ' all the hosts'. It is prob. an
adj. which as an adv. retains its old accentuation like yrhdwg, erioed § 47

An adj. preceding a vb. duectly (without y), as mad Sevthoste B.B. 87 ' well
hast thou come', forms a loose compound with it, § 207 ii, and takes
pre-verbal ny (not nyt), as ny mad aeth B.B. 70, ny phell gwy8 B.A. 26 '
falls not far '.
iv. The following- adverbs are formed of nouns in obi. cases with a
demonblriitive or similar adj., seo i (2) (a).
(i) h6-ddiw, Late Mn. W. ln''i1i1i/w § 37 hi; heno § 78 i (i);
e-leni 'this year' for *-he-flen.i, Bret. hevlene.
heSiw for *heSyw § 77 v < *se-diws = Skr. sa-dwah ' at once' beside
sa-dydh ' on the same day' prob. loc. sg. of an s- stem, and so not formed
directly from *dizeus ' day', but an old formation going back to Pr. Ar. The
othei s are prob. formed in Brit. on its analogy :
he-no < *8e-nokti loc. oi*nokts; e-leni for *he-lyni (owing to preference
for e..i sequence, cf. § 65 iii (2)) < 1 *Uidnii loc. of *bleidom which
gives hlwyddyn ' year'.
(a) beunydd ' every day', beunoeth ' every night'.
The noun in these was ace. But Blit. *papon d^zen (< *q*aqvo'm dtiem)
should give W. *pawb nyK ', it K;ems to liiive 1icen made into an improper
compound eaily, nud the aw trcuteil like ordinary penultimate aw (which
normally comes from *ou) and affected to eu § 70 iv (3), giving *peubnyS
>peunyS; then by analogy peunoeth (and S. W. dial. o beutu for lit. o
boptv); Bret. bemdeiz, Treg. baonde.
(3) yn awr 'now' § 114 iv; yr awron, weithion, etc., § 164 iii; ymannos ' the
other night' R.P. 1364, D.G. 8a, 158,
200.
ymannos is probably to be placed here although the exact form of its Blifc.
original is doubtful. It stands for *yniannoeth which may represent loc. *esmi undo, nokti lit. ' this here night', see ii (i i).

words. The following may be noted in W.:
i. (i) ysywaeth ' the more the pity', Ml. W. ysywaeth T^.A. 157, s.G. 252,
for ysy waeth ' which is worse '.

Late Mn. period: o blegid Act. i 5> ii 34's o herwydd I Cor. xv 53 ; o
waith, in S.W. dial. waith.
v. Conditional: (i) o, od 'if, Ml. W. o, ot, or; os 'if it is';
ossit ' if there is' ; o'm ' if... me'; o'th .' if... thee '; os ' if... him
(her, them)'; oni, onid ' if. .. not, unless', Ml. W. ony, onyt; oni 'm '
if... not. . . me ', on-is ' if... not... him (her, them)', Ml. W. onym,
onys, etc. As above indicated the -s of os • is either ys 'is', or else the
3rd sg". or pi. infixed pron.; but in Late Mn. W. os came to be used
instead of o, od for ' if simply ;
examples are common in the l6th cent.: os rhoed llaw W.IL. 60.— o is followed
by the spirant, also in Early Mn. W. by the rad., of JO-, ;'-, c-, and by the
rad. of other mutables; od is used before vowels.
Before Verbs : o chlywy Siaspat. . . o gwely <7wsw.M. 119-120 'if thou

172 'if there has been '; or kaff'/if vyy/iyvarws do. 459 'if I get my boon';
or mynny IL.A. 165 ' if thou wilt'. Before nouns, etc., followed by the
relative pron., os 'if (it) is' : Ac os zvynteu &e meS hi W.M. 190 'and
if it is they who hold it'; os 08 (read o'th) voS y gwney ditfieu do. 429 '
if it is of thy free will that thou dost'; or followed by a simple subject :

subject : ossit a Sigrifhao . . . C.M. 2 7 ' if there is [any one] who enjoys
. . .'— The neg. forms ony etc. follow the rules for ny; before verbs : ony
by8 W.M. 95 ' if there be not'; with infixed pron. : onys Jeaffaf do. 459 '
if I do not get it'. Before nouns etc. onyt ' if it [is] not' : onyt edivar

D.G. D. 148, used to lull a baby to sleep, Inter hvi (short proper diphth.),
/twz\aw; dyt 'pooh', dyilyl, D.N. 3 9/230 (the y's in the MS., and the accent
implied in the cynghanedd). D. 148 gives, in addition, Jiys, ho, he, hai,

continuous re-formation; and a may be from original a (: Lat. ff, etc.),
which ought regularly to give *aw.
