sian, west wales	Naming in threes (69* d)	RE: Naming in threes	29 Mar 24
Not quite the same thing but re: the employment of 3s ... There is a whole category of song/verse in Wales called "tribannau" - triplets - which are wise, or funny, or both. e.g. Tri pheth sy'n hawdd eu 'nabod: Dyn, derwen, a'r diwrnod. Y dydd yn troi, y pren yn gou, A'r dyn yn ddauwynebog. Three things that are easily recognized: Man, oak tree, and the day. The day turns, the tree is solid/dense, And the man is two faced. Another: Tri pheth sy' dda gan grotyn Yw gwraig y ty yn chwerthin, A'r crochen bach yn berwi'n ffrwd A llond y cwd o bwdin. Three things that a lad likes Are the housewife laughing, The little pot boiling swiftly, And a paunchful of pudding. There are a LOT of these. sian
