Also tyfarna [
təˡvarna] (Note 35: obscuring of the pretonic vowel)

From Latin TABERNA (hut, shed > shop, inn, wineshop, tavern) > Brythonic > Welsh TAFARN.

 

It has been suggested that Latin TABERNA is a dissimulated form of TRABERNA, and if so it would be a derivative of TRABS (= beam, piece of timber). TRABS is possibly related to Welsh TREF (= farm; town), and in the Germanic languages German DORF (= village), and English THORP(E) (found in English place names; = village).

Paul, in his letter to the Romans, in a longer passage entreating his readers to love one another, quotes from Proverbs 25:21-22: Romans 12:19-20 (NASB)

19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”

it means "put to shame," or "make one painfully conscious of his guilt.

The conclusion is that when we are kind to the erring individual (instead of repaying evil-for-evil), we exclude any animosity. In fact, when we pray for our enemies we protect ourselves from bitterness

 

lists a couple of interesting interpretations. for example, they quote Kenneth Samuel Wuest (1893-1962):

In Bible times an oriental needed to keep his hearth fire going all the time in order to insure fire for cooking and warmth. If it went out, he had to go to a neighbour for some live coals of fire. These he would carry on his head in a container, oriental fashion, back to his home. The person who would give him some live coals would be meeting his desperate need and showing him an outstanding kindness. If he would heap the container with coals, the man would be sure of getting some home still burning. The one injured would be returning kindness for injury.

‘Griff. H. y Toff’ / Llysenwau Pontardawe a'r Cylch (= nicknames of Pontardawe and the neighbouring area) http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cwmgors/Llysenwauponty.html

·····

·····
Treárn [tre·ˡarn] (-) forename and surname. Standard Welsh: Trahaearn [tra·ˡhəɪarn]).
ORIGIN: Trahaearn is (TRA = (prefix) very, extremely, most, exceedingly) + (HAEARN = iron). In Gwentian, the triphthong AEA is reduced to the diphthong AE, hence haearn > haern. Another instance is gaeaf / gaef (= winter).

The personal name has been misunderstood as a place name (probably because the first vowel might be reduced to schwa – hence TRYHAEARN – and this was spelt as if a place name beginning with TREF / TRE (a homestead, a farmstead, a settlement).

The standard Welsh spelling for this local form is Treharn (or more accurately Trehárn, to indicate the unusual accentuation). In Gwentian, the [h] is lost, and thus we have Treárn. It has been ‘Englished’ by adding a final ‘e’ – Treharne.

A note on genealogy.com (June 12, 2001 at 12:59:54) gives an interesting example of the name:

Trearn Trearn was born 8 July 1820 at Merthyr Tydfill, Glamorgan, Wales. He and his wife Elizabeth Arthur (married November 23, 1840 at the Parish Church of Aberdare, Wales) came to the U.S. Their ship arrived 17 July 1841.Once in the U.S. Trearn changed his name to Treharne Jones Sr. Treharne and Elizabeth died in Lucas County, Iowa and is buried there as well. I would like to find out if Treharne or Elizabeth had any brothers or sisters. I’m also looking for more information on Treharne’s father John Treharne. Elizabeth’s father was Thomas Arthur and was a mason but I have no further information.

Treharne and Elizabeth had 8 children.They are: Anna (1846-1936), John T. (1849-1936), Thomas J. (1851-1927), Elizabeth (1853-1921), Treharne Jr. (1858-1891), Jennett (1860-1936), William Ellsworth (1862-1931), and David Lincoln (1865-1935).

I am looking for information on any of these people and their ancestors/descendants

http://www.genealogy.com/forum/regional/countries/topics/wales/5805/

(Interestingly, in the above account, we see a traditional family forename used with a surname that had originally been a patronymic ending up in a double name; other examples abound in Wales, such as Morgan Morgan, Llewellyn Llewellyn, Howell Howell, Leyshon Leyshon, etc; in a patronymic system it is unlikely (though not impossible) for such names as Morgan ab Morgan, Llywelyn ab Llywelyn, Hywel ab Hywel, Lleision ab Lleision. It is at least the grandfather’s name which is being passed on (hence Morgan ab Gwilym ab Morgan, for example). Treran Trearn Englished his name by using ‘Treharne’ and then falling back on the traditional Welsh patronymic mmaner of naming, apparently usd his father’s forename John as his surname, but in the form Jones.)

(Other spellings: Trahaearn, Trearn, Treharn, Treharne)


·····

Tredecar [trɛˡde·kar] (nf) town name. Standard Welsh: Tredegar [trɛˡde·gar])

Tre-lyn [tre·ˡlɪn] (nf) village name; English name Fleur-de-lis (French = lily flower); in 1833 noted as “Flower de luce”.  It seems that the two names were not originally equivalents, since Tre-lyn was a part of Fleur-de-lis.

The Welsh name is “(the) trêv or farmstead (by) (the) pool” (a pool in the river Rhymni; perhaps the Llyn Fraith (“dappled pool”) which occurs also in the name Pont-llan-fraith, originally “pont y llyn fraith”.

Y Darian. 20 Ebrill 1916. “Cefn Onn”. Mae'r golygfeydd yn amrywiol o'r fangre hon, ac yn ddiddorol iawn. Gellir canfod trigle eich gohebydd, “Dewi Aur." Yr oeddem flynyddau yn ol yn lled gyfarwydd ag ef. Y mae wedi treulio llawer o'i hamser ynghymdogaeth can a llen, ac wedi bod yn eisteddfodwr pybyr. Da gennym ei fod yn parhau mor selog dros gadwraeth ein hen iaith annwyl, ac nad yw'r awen wedi distewi yn hollol, a'i fod yn anfon ambell i bishin pedair lein (sef yr enw sydd gan “Dafydd y Crydd" ar englyn) pan yn gohebu i'r "Darian."
Ond paham y geilw Dewi y lle "Y Tridwr” yn hytrach na rhoi iddo ei hen enw, “Abertridwr." I'm tyb i mae hwn yn swnio yn fwy barddonol. Trueni mawr yw gadael i'r hen enwau fyned ar goll. Ni fydd pobl yr oes nesaf yn gwybod dim am danynt. Mae Cwm yr Aber yn gyfoethog mewn hen enwau swynol y dylid gwneud pob ymdrech i'w cadw mewn cof. Ceir yma y “Gwlaw-nant," “Beidy'r Wch," “Garth," "Craig yr Hufen”, etc. Clywais...

Y Darian (“The Shield”). 20 April 1916. “Cefn Onn”. The views from this spot are varied and very interesting. We can make out the home of your correspondent, "Dewi Aur." We were quite familiar with him years ago. He has spent much of his time in the world (“neighbourhood”) of singing and literature, and has been a staunch eisteddfodwr. We are glad that he continues to be so zealous about the preservation of our beloved old language, and that the muse has not completely silenced, and that he sends a few four-line pieces (“pishin”, which is the name "Dafydd y Crydd" uses for an “englyn” verse) when he writes for the  "Shield." But why does Dewi call the place "Y Tridwr" instead of giving it its old name, "Abertridwr." I think this sounds more poetic. It is a great pity to let the old names get lost. The people of future generations (“of the next age / epoch”)  will know nothing about them. The Aber Valley is rich in charming old names for which every effort should be made to keep them alive (“in memory”). Here you find the "Glawnant," (rain-stream), "Beudy'r (H)wch," (the sow’s pig-house), "Garth," (hill), "Craig yr Hufen", (rock (of) the cream), etc. I heard...

’Rwy'n foddlon myn'd i garu
Gan litl biwtis.'

Gobeithio yr ä wrth y canoedd. Dangoswn ein hunain yn drwmps i r "Trwmpyn.”

TRANSLATION: Tarian y Gweithiwr (‘The Shield of the Workman’)
27 August 1896

"Y TRWMPYN." (the good friend)

I am delighted to inform readers of Y Darian about the aforementioned book. This is a brand new book, by a popular author, namely "Bachan Ifanc y Darian." (= the Y Darian columnist ‘Bachan Ifanc’ = young lad). This is the best Trwmpyn (good friend) in the kingdom. If anyone requires medication to cure their complaints like Indigestion, Low Spirits, Depression, Back Pain, Sickness, Headache, and ill forebodings, etc., let them buy the "Trwmpyn," price three pence, and they’ll have something that will be of great benefit . In it the Bachan Ifanc can be seen in his best clothes, as always, true to form (‘as he himself’), entertaining with amusement (‘entertaining amusement’). If you want a true companion, buy the "Trwmpyn," (‘good friend’) and no one will regret doing so (‘will be regretful because of it’. It's fun to read at the end of the day (‘it’s funny after daylight’).

Ye women and boys,
Oh! buy the 'Trwmpyn,'
It's really entertaining;
It contains enjoyable (‘tasty’) things,
To go ahead easily,
In the company of the ‘little beauties’
And it’s coinspiring / encouraging (‘comfortable’)
Funny and excellent.

Good old Gwyn (‘From the Gwyn with him’)
(the author is Myfyr Wyn, pen-name of William Williams, born Twyn-star, Tredegar 1849, died Aber-dâr 1900); Myfyr = saint’s name, as in Llanfyfyr (anglicised as Llanover) say boys,
When reading the book 'Trwmpyn,'
Making them laugh
The ‘little beauties’.
Wil, Dai, and Shoni say:
'Well, it’s neatly explained (‘here it is tidy’),
'I'm ready to go courting
Little beauties. '

I hope it goes (= sells) by the hundred. Let us show ourselves to be firm friends of the "Trwmpyn."

JOHN JUDGE.
