town on the border with England (Chepstow)( = castell Gwent; the castle (at the
entrance to) Gwent’)
Càr-went
/ Caer-went town in Gwent (‘[Roman] fortification at the place called ‘Venta’)
ORIGIN: The town of Uenta (called by the Romans Uenta Silurum, that is, the
Brittonic name Uenta and the Latin genitive plural Siurum( = of the Silurian
people, of the Silurians) became, in early Welsh, Uent and later Gwent, and was

#Gwenwysag [gwɛnˡuɪsag] (nf) Gwentian = the Welsh
dialect of Gwent and Morgannwg; (adj) pertaining to Gwentian. Standard Welsh: Gwenhwyseg
[gwɛnˡhuɪsɛg])
Although this
is the name of the dialect it is more than anything a literary word. The
dialect was seen more as a part of ‘iaith y Sowth’ (Southern Welsh), and in the
nineteenth century to speakers of south-western Welsh it was ‘iaith y gweithe’
(the language / dialect of the ‘works’ – i.e. the ironworks and coal mines)
(locally this name was ‘iaith y gwitha’).
ORIGIN: From GWENNWYS( = the people of Gwent) (GWENT) + (plural suffix
indicating inhabitants -WYS).
(GWENNWYS = Gwentians) + (-EG suffix to
denote a language or dialect) > GWENHWYSEG (> Gwentian Gwenwysag)
Doubtless it was pronounced as such when used by dialect speakers, but no
evidence of its use with this pronunciation has been noted by us as yet.
