GUEST,ripov Folklore: 'frith' a Middle English ramble (32) RE: Folklore: 'frith' a Middle English ramble 23 Jan 19

I believe that in the welsh, "f" is pronounced as english "v", "ff" as "f", and "dd" as "th".   So "ffridd" would be pronounced "frith". On old road signs "Cardiff" was written "Gaerdydd". I have also seen the "dd" used similarly on (supposedly) old maps of Scotland, but can't vouch for it's authenticity, maybe part of the gothic revival?
