The main purpose
of this dictionary is to give an approximation of ‘Gwentian’ Welsh (the Welsh
of the former counties of Sir Forgannwg / Glamorganshire and Sir Fynwy /
Monmouthshire) which might serve to read texts written in the dialect.

a Final-syllable
[a] corresponds to
1/ etymological E [ɛ] in the standard language: llygoden > llygōtan (= mouse)
2/
in other dialects, [ɛ] which is a reduction of the diphthong AI [ai] in
the standard language: cadair >
cātar (= chair)
3/ in other dialects, [ɛ] which is a reduction of the diphthong AE [ai] in
the standard language: gafael >
gāfal (= to grasp)
4/ in other dialects, [ɛ] which is a reduction of the diphthong AU [ai] in
the standard language: darnau > darna
(= pieces)
à (pronoun) he
ōdd à īsha ī fi * fynd
ī’r shop newydd he wanted me to go to the new shop
A form of fà
à In standard Welsh and in ‘standardised Gwentian’, this
represents a short vowel [a] in an environment where the vowel would be long.
Usually these are words taken from Enlgish – bàg, pŵr dàb, etc.
1/ In this form of ‘standardised’ Gwentian, at least for the purposes of this
dictionary, the vowel in open syllables in monosyllables (i.e. no final
consonant or consonant cluster) is also marked in this way
à [a] he
àb [ab] (in patronymics) son
fà [va] he
chà [xa] bring (< dewch â)
ddà [ða] I shall (< ddà i < bydda i)
mà [ma] clipped form of yma = here
mà [ma] clipped form of dyma = here’s (literally: ‘here you
see’)
mà [ma] = mae there is, is
nà [na] clipped form of yna =
there
nà [na] clipped form of dyna = there’s (literally: ‘there you see’)
sà as if
wyrthin
fel sà collad arno laugh as though he was
mad (‘as if there was a madness on him’)
shà [ʃa] to,
towards
tà pīn however
tà prȳd
[ta ‘pri:d] whenever
2/
Also in words with an original long vowel but which is not usually emphasised
i.e. a vowel shortened in a pretonic syllable
àb [ab] son (in patronymics) < fāb [va:b] < māb [ma:b]
3/ And in common with standard Welsh spelling (though usually not adhered to
except in dictionaries) where an ‘a’ is short though the orthographical pattern
or orthographical environment suggests it should be long. Such words are
usually loans from English.
pw̄r
dàb [pu:r ˡdab] poor creature, poor
thing
ā [a:,
a] (conj) and (=
a, ac [a:, a:g])
In
Gwentian, ‘a’ often used instead of standard ‘ac’ [a:g, ag] (i.e. before a
vowel)
nawr ā yn y man now and then
àb [ab] (nm) son (= ab) [ab]]
Origin: māb [ma:b] (= son) > àb [ab]
(son, in patronymics)
(or ap [ap], an archaic spelling of àb).
àb Gwīlym (Son of Gwilym /
William)
Pseudonym of a bard who was the author of an English-language poem ‘A Song To
